PHOTOGRAM
POSITIVE & NEGATIVE SPACE
Journal:
“A photogram is a contact print. It is made by placing something opaque or translucent on light sensitive material and then exposing it to light. This blocks out part of the light, and makes a pattern or picture on the light sensitive material when it is exposed to light and processed.” You will be creating 3 photograms. The theme is "MEMOIRS." You can pick 3 different people or groups of people for each photogram. You will need to bring pictures, negatives, writings, items, anything that you can relate to that person. Anything that will remind you of this person or group of people. You can print images on transparency and use as a negative.
Project:
Look at the examples of photograms. Bring materials to class to create your photogram. Follow the design principles.
You will turn in three 8" x 10" prints. We will have a class critique to discuss composition and the use of design principles.
