David Hockney - Arrival of Spring

The 'arrival of spring' photography that we did on tuesday was in response to the work of David Hockney as we discussed. The exhibition at The Royal Academy of Arts from January until April.

He worked on this project with paint, photography, ipads and video so you will need to look into these areas when you do your research.

The images that you took of '6 different  areas with 6 images' in each area will need to be placed alongside each other (in a similar way to his work and how its arranged within the exhibition).

Can you sort out sets of 6 images off the front computer and put them into photoshop, I will show you how to place the images together in a block of 6 within photoshop document.

The whole point of this is that is 'stop frame photography' in a series, the gap between each shot can vary in time, and as Hockney, did space the project out over different seasons. The stop frame photography that you have done has to include people in one form or another in some scale or size within the shots.

They may be positioned in one image or across the scene, or be walking across as the pictures are taken that would be a creative way to resolve this assignment.

If the weather is good we will go out as a large group to do some photography over the washlands as the most important aspect of this type of photography is that it is done in a creative way.
We may (if there are enough cameras) set up 6 cameras on tripods altogether in an area and do a large version to see if it will work on a larger scale.
With this you could end up with 6 stop frame movies all joined together depending on how complex you wanted to make your work.
