Our holiday picture-taking assignment is going to be based on the work of artist, David Hockney. When we come back to class in January, you’ll put together a collage from the photos you take. You will need at least 50-100 pictures. Think seriously about your subject matter! You will need to take photos from every conceivable angle and distance. You will print it up, design the collage, and paste it together when we return to school!
