Homework
Make a Transcription of a Hockney swimming pool picture draw very faintly with pencil, then colour using colouring pencils. Try to match colours the best you can! This can be done by careful blending.
Remember don't push too hard when drawing the outline in pencil otherwise these marks will be too present in the finished transcription.
Then using analysing art sheet analyse the Hockney you have just transcribed. For extra marks do an analysis of your transcription saying what you thought was sucessful and what wasn't.
Here an example of how to analysis the work
"I am looking at a depiction of a swimming pool, the image is rectangular and devided into six sections. There is a very small gap between the sections suggesting that the pieces are separate, maybe they were once joined. This adds to the idea of reflection as images are usually broken as they become distorted.
I can't see the entire pool, it is as if I am standing on the diving board and I am anticipating a jump into the deep water below. The diving board is represented by a rectangle of yellow, why yellow ? I think Hockney is trying to show the heat of the day by using such an intense yellow its as if the sun is refelected of the board.
I see it as a diving board because it is positioned over the pool. I can see the light reflected on the water as it ripples beneath the diving board. There is the suggestion of some kind of hedge row or dense plants at the back of the pool in the top three segments. The painting has a linear quality to it as if Hockney wants to create a unrealistic quality to the work, its stylised and graphic as the colours are representational of nature but not true to it.
The colours used are a range of blues and greens, There is a hint of purple and there is of course the center focus point of the diving board in it bright intense yellow.
I feel as if I am in california where the days are hot and the sun is high in the sky as the shadows are not as distorted or staggered as they would be at the end of the day. You get a real sense of the heat and the pool becomes ever more enticing."
I have started mine off but you would need to analyse yours further!
Enjoy! Miss Monsell
