day in the lab!

PHOTOGRAMS!

ok, so i will not be in class tomorrow-but- Austin will be going into the darkroom with you and going over how to make photograms....

remember-
closed toed shoes
paper
interesting objects (textures-objects that are important to you or that you can use as metaphors for things- be creative and experiment with liquids [we have glass that you can set on top of your paper], flashlights, round objects, etc...)
visual research books- austin will be looking through them briefly to make sure you are keeping up to date with them.... print offs from the internet, magazine photos, sketches, anything! it is a scrap book for visual inspiration... you should be filling it up!
cameras- Austin can try and help you figure it out if it still is puzzling

have a great lab day!

and remember to use the blog to post what you are researching... things you find interesting!
