During the beginning of the course, I experimented with creating a photogram by exposing photographic paper to light while objects were placed onto it.
This is how my project took place. -set enlarger aperture to F11 -Set timer to 03 seconds -placed the focus and roll in position with the photographic paper -used a test strip of 3,6 & 9 seconds - Bathed the paper in developer, fix and sealer and then a bath of water -dried the result was that the side which was left for the least exposure (nine seconds) was cleaner and crisper, however the side left exposed to the most exposure (3 seconds) was dark and shallow. With my results in mind, I redid my photogram at an exposure of 9 seconds, giving the entire picture a crisp and clean feel. My plan for my next project is to choose 6 different ideas for a photogram and execute it in the dark room. Idea 1: Create an x-ray like image using see-through pens. giving a linear and orthographic appearance. Idea 2: Draw on my photographic paper using a regular pen, giving an abstract photogram |
How to screen print a photograph 1)Print your ideal image in black and white on an a4/a5 sheet of paper. 2)using coloured oil, spread generously across a plastic base using a solid roller. 3)place the plain side of the paper into the oil and roll once more. 4)Remove from plastic and place onto a larger sheet of paper, then re- removing 5) Repeat this until oil cannot be found when the picture is placed on the paper. 6)Tape the picture loosely onto a fresh a4 sheet 7)Using a pen and ruler, retrace the steps of the key features of the photograph. 8)Wait for drying |
