Its time to "Space Out"... and by that I mean TAKE LOTS OF PHOTOS OF A LANDSCAPE!
Space, sometimes crowded, sometimes open, is all around you. It may be full of trees or buildings, clouds, or clean air. It can be contained by walls or open to the horizons. We run, walk, and drive in space. When you walked to the computer to read this page, you were walking in space. The words forward, back, around, under, behind, over, into, and out from all indicate action taken in space. (Taken from Exploring Visual Design, Second Edition, Gatto, Porter and Selleck).
Your assignment is to create a photo collage construction, in the style of artist David Hockney, that emphasizes space.

Photo-taking:
1. Choose a landscape that can be photographed "in pieces" Look for interesting locations! Be creative in your camera angles and composition. Always remember the past lessons we have done!!
2. Take A LOT of photos of the space you choose, but stand in the same place. You may want to try at least 2 different places so you can choose your favorite. You may also want to try photographing a space while moving (i.e. walking) which could be really interesting.
3. You will want to incorporate at the very minimum 30 images into your final photo collage construction. You may manipulate your images to best reflect the concepts described in this assignment. TAKE A LOT OF PHOTOS! I recommend that you take at least 50 photos. I recommend that you take photos at 2 different locations. In that case, you would have at least 100 photos! (((shew!, that's a lot of photos!)))
