The first Project





We will begin working on our first project Monday the 24th, I will go through a demo with you, I know it sounds crazy but hopefully each of you will have the chance to do this with me and that way we can get to work right off the bat next week without much discussion.  In other words I need you all to bring in few things that we could possibly use for photograms.  The wiki def. is photogram is a photographic image made without a camera by placing objects directly onto the surface of a photo-sensitive material such as photographic paper and then exposing it to light. The result is a negative shadow image varying in tone, depending on the transparency of the objects used. Areas of the paper that have received no light appear white; those exposed through transparent or semi-transparent objects appear grey.  Here is the link to the wiki site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photogram

Based on this description and the examples I expect all of you to bring materials to produce a photogram, this also means you will need paper.
