The photogram above is 8th block's Michelle Garza's.
The photogram was established as an art form by Mann Ray although it is really the same concept as a shadowgram or sunprint which was the original attempt at creating a photograph. We will do sunprints next week.
Thursday was a very brief intro into digital editing. We will do more later. If you did not bring your digital images Thursday, there is really no reason to next week since we are moving on to more history.
The ideas that I hope you remember are that cropping can improve a picture, but that does not mean you have to crop to only the subject. You control exposure when you take a picture and when you print by the size of the aperture(hole) in the lens and the amount of time the light is left on (the shutter stays open). In printing, just as in digital editing, you can correct to some degree the original image. However, sometimes the exposure is so off that it can not be corrected.
Hope you are getting those film cameras as we get our first roll next week!
Have a good 3 day weekend.
Mrs. H
