David Hockney, a contemporary artist living in Los Angeles, created photocollages in the 1980s, compiling a 'complete' picture from a series of individually photographed details. You can get a similar effect using one photo, cutting it up and putting it back together again.1. I started with a trimmed photo from an old National Geographic magazine. Using scissors, I cut the picture into small square and rectangular sections, taking care to keep them still in order.
2. After I was happy that I had a good mix of vertical and horizontal squares and rectangles, I glued them to a white paper. Glue sticks work best as they minimize wrinkles. My goal was to keep the shapes somewhat in the same original placement, but all overlapping each other and rotating a bit.
