Photo-grams come in all types, your "imagination is your only limitation"! I've even had students use crickets as the subject for found object photo-grams!
For our second photo-gram, we will cut a stencil out of black construction paper. Instead of placing objects on the enlarging paper, you will use your paper stencil. We will compress the enlarging paper and stencil together using a contact printer. F-stop and time will remain the same for this project.
Subject:
The subject for this image is "geometric shapes" or a design created out of your "initials". Make sure you use the idea of "repetition" in your design. Notice the repeating curves in the example below.
Objective:
Practice using an x-acto knife, continued practice with the enlarger and print developing process.
Things to consider:
- Design your image so the stencil won't fall apart.
- Always cut away from your holding hand.
- If the paper starts to tear, ask me for a new blade.
- Keep your cuts as clean as possible.
Here is an example of a "geometric shape" photo-gram. Notice the edges are kept intact.
