Some of his main work was drawn through the perspective lines which created a unique style such as the 4 season was produced in a artistic way which makes you want to see all his work. I looked at Hockneys work to give me ideas and how to be very creative. I'm not using his work to help me to draw, paint, sketch ETC. I just want to see the way he thinks and how he got his ideas. Hockney tries engaging with his audience therefore his work is different to other artist. This piece of work really got me into looking at more of his work. When we look at something its one big image but we hardly see the details of some stuff such as the grass its there but we don't really notice it. But having 9 different viewpoints clearly separates the frames and becomes one picture and you can see everything clearly which tells me having 9 viewpoints shows people see one thing in so many different view. So he put 9 cameras to show the different viewpoints of looking at one thing.
National Portrait Gallery influenced me a lot. As I was doing my pathway project we went to the NPG and I really enjoyed looking at artist that do portrait. By going there it helped me to do two projects because my pathway project portrayed Essex Girls and my Confirmatory study is all about me.http://www.npg.org.uk/
The gallery houses portraits of historically important and famous British people, selected on the basis of the significance of the sitter, not that of the artist. The collection includes photographs andcaricatures as well as paintings, drawings and sculpture. One of its best-known images is the Chandos portrait, the most famous portrait of William Shakespeare[4] although there is some uncertainty about whether the painting actually is of the playwright.
Not all of the portraits are exceptional artistically, although there are self-portraits by William Hogarth, Sir Joshua Reynolds and other British artists of note. Some, such as the group portrait of the participants in the Somerset House Conference of 1604, are important historical documents in their own right. Often, the curiosity value is greater than the artistic worth of a work, as in the case of theanamorphic portrait of Edward VI by William Scrots, Patrick Branwell Brontë's painting of his sistersCharlotte, Emily and Anne, or a sculpture of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in medieval costume. Portraits of living figures were allowed from 1969. In addition to its permanent galleries of historical portraits, the National Portrait Gallery exhibits a rapidly changing collection of contemporary work, stages exhibitions of portrait art by individual artists and hosts the annual BP Portrait Prize competition.
