Who is David Hockney? Some people don't believe his stories. Do you? Why?
David Hockney was a brilliant British painter, draughtsman, printmaker, photographer, and designer. After a prize-winning career as a student at the Royal College of Art, Hockney achieved international success by the time he was in his mid-20s, and has since his position as by far the best-known British artist of his generation. His amazing success has been based not only on the flair, wit, and versatility of his work, but also on his colorful personality, which has made him a recognizable figure even to people not particularly interested in art: a film about him entitled A Bigger Splash (1974).
He was also considered the most celebrated artist who belived that people have been using lens's for around 400 years before the camera was invented.
I have faith in him, he's changed my way of looking at painting and lens, and using a camera. It is very easy to catch the beautiful or uniqueness of a person or place. But he has also showed that it is even easier to make up a studio of very popular photographic places.
What was the Secret Knowledge? Does it change the way you look at painting? Why?
The lense is the secret knowledge, it all depends on your lense. You can change the view, the lighting, and setting of a picture just by changing your lense. And in all of his paintings he uses "tracing the lines" to perfect his paintings. The lighting is bright, very colorful, and unique.
What methods did Hockney use to tell his story? What were the most effective? Why?
He invented a studio with buildings and images of Florence, Hollywood, Rouge, and
Gant. Its a set in Hollywood, four cities involved in picture making.
He liked using mirrors because he stated " it gave the biggest space and the biggest measure" to add in more to your picture. To give your picture a still look, but its an acutal moving picture. I found the most effective of the video is when he stated that he created his own studio that looked like a hollywood set. That its possible to fake a place too look like a real place in real life.
