Hockney Style Joiners

In my Gt class we are learning about Photo-montages and their creator David Hockney. Photo-montages are a collaboration of photos with overlap to create a abstract photo. David Hockney's photo montages are different than mine because his are more professional and since he does this for a living. His Photo-Montages are also probably more advanced colors and definitions in his pictures since he uses a different camera than the ones we use in school. David Hockney is also better at arranging the photos to give them that certain abstract feel.

Images are very complex because they can send positive and negative messages.They can send messages by the subjects in the picture. The subjects could be things that represent positive things like happiness. Happiness could be a bowl of ice cream. Sadness could be a rainy day from a window. The effects in a photo also could send a message. If you have black and white effects it could be sad or if you have vibrant effects it could be happy.

In GT we are making a photo montage of something that is special to us. I took pictures of a flower in my backyard. I used different tilts and angles while taking my pictures so when I put them together it's more abstract. The message I want to send in my photo montage is that without flowers life would be colorless and boring. This means without flowers life wouldn't be fun. No one would be inspired by the beauty and no one would be creative.

2016 Aspirations

In 2016 I have many goals I want to accomplish. One of them is getting A's in all of my classes. Another is to do a good job on my school's morning announcements as a tricaster and make very little mistakes. In 2016 I also want to participate more in classes without being asked because I am a really shy kid. I also want to try and get better at cooking and learn more stuff about flavors. My last goal for 2016 is to help out my friends when they are stuck on something.

The most important goal to me is actually two because they counteract with each other. They are to get A's in all of my classes and participate more. I chose these two because part of our grade is based off of participation. Also to have a successful life and a good job to support you you need to be good in class and get good grades. Also if I participated more in class I would gain more confidence in what I do.

The steps I will take to ensure success is to pay attention in classes. I will also need to make sure I understand what we are doing class. Another step will be to study for the tests that we take in class. Also, I need to make sure that during very important tests like sbac tests to stay focused. The last step I will need to take is to raise my hand if class to answer questions and if it's wrong at least I know.
