TASK TWO: Pinhole Photograph & Photograms
TASK TWO: Pinhole Photograph & Photograms
Play around with creating a photogram in the dark room
A photogram is a photographic image made without a camera by placing objects directly onto the surface of a light-sensitive material such as photographic paper and then exposing it to light.

VIDEO ON HOW TO MAKE CYANOTYPE EMULSION
Make a cyanotype using found materials
Find leaves/ objects to act as a resist from the sun's rays for your first cyanotype. Make up an emulsion and apply to a piece of paper, remember to leave some brush marks for texture. Place foliage on the paper and leave in the hot sun for a couple of hours. Rinse off the emulsion with cold water. Do not forget to rinse it all off as it will continue to develop.
Choose an image from your Sequence, we will use this image to make a negative to use as your next cyanotype print.

Task FOUR – Principals of Composition PHOTOSHOOT #1
Understanding photographic conventions will do two things for your photographic practice:
1. Enable you to take strong, interesting images.
2. Help you to analyse images.
Look at the work of William Eggleston, one of the pioneers in colour photography. Document a site related to your theme and take a series of images that explore a range of photographic compositional conventions. Take a minimum of 40 photos – turn this shoot into a contact sheet. Label your photos explaining the conventions used.

Task Five – Sequencing Still Colour Images PHOTOSHOOT #2
Task Five – Sequencing Still Colour Images PHOTOSHOOT #2
Look at Duane Michaels as a start for your pages on how to develop a sequence of photographs around a central idea.
Part 2: Using your own theme look at what kind of images you could create in sequence to convey your ideas through still images. Do a mind map, a mood board, list some ideas down, do some thumbnail sketches, go for a walk.
Take a minimum of 40 photographs, all the while keeping in mind the sequence, NOT INDIVIDUAL PHOTOS, but sequences.
Create CONTACT SHEETS and make critical selections from these as your final selections. They must work together as a sequence.
