Assignment#14: "Though The Lens" background information

As a kid, David Hockney was always interested in art. He ended up going to the Bradford College of Art for four years. Two years later, he attended graduate school at the Royal College of Art. He moved to California in 1966 and began to fall in love with Los Angeles. The swimming pools in L.A.  were something that he loved to paint, as well as the inside and outside of houses. In 1970, he took polaroids of a house and laid them out, creating a series of photos. When he laid them out, he began to paint the image, but soon began to love how the photos looked together. He began to take more and more collections of photos as he started getting into photography more.
