Tuesday Lesson 1 - Darkroom

For today's lesson, we all went into the darkroom & got a chance to use the equipment in there & to be able get some experience of using the darkroom. For me this is the first time i had ever been in a darkroom. When we was in the darkroom we got a chance to learn how to use the enlargers in there, what to do with photographic paper, the health & safety rules & how to use the fixer & developer. in my opnion, i thought this was a great start to the course & i found creating the prints we made fun.

. Materials
Photographic paper
Developer chemicl
stopper chemical
fix chemical
shoe boxes (pinhole photography)

. Processes

For today's lesson, we was in the darkroom & we produced more images, using photographic paper & we started the process by either using objects on the enlarger or using pinhole photography.
using enlarger for 10 seconds
then put the photographic paper in the developer for 2 minutes
then place it in the stripper for 10 seconds
then in the fixer for 1 minute
then we placed our prints into water but i'm guessing called a cleaner (i don't know i'm just trying to be technical) for 5 minutes. then once them 5 minutes are up we put them in a dryer to finish them off.

. Technical Skills
the technical skills in which i learnt during this lesson as this was the first time i had ever been in the dark room was how to use the enlarger, how to use fixer & developer & also the health & safety rules for the darkroom which is also important.

Basic analysis of a students work

For todays lesson we had to analyse another students work. We did this for feedback reasons. To do this we had to get a photo we had taken up onto our computers then put it full screen then swap with someone else to analyse their work. some of the the analyse questions included describing, commenting on on the photos formal elements such as what techniques used, what is the medium of the work & what kind of textures are used & also consider the mood & meaning.

Carosel - Graphics

Document what you did in the session on Tuesday and Wednesday (Pictures, Diary entries, Printouts ETC) Throughout the two days of doing graphics, we did two different things, but we kinda had a idea of what we was getting ourselves into, as graphics relates to photography. we had to take photos with our cameras for the first day & also learn about & how to create Typography, which is the first time in which i had learnt about this process. for the second day we had continued, what we was doing in the previous day, but by expanding our knowledge & the task in which was set by digitally creating the typography in which we drew up, digitally by learning how to use a scanner & scan in stuff & to also recreate the typography which we drew up on adobe Illustrator once we scanned it in. we also learnt about composition & also the "design cycle process". Materials - as we did graphics we had to use 3 different types of materials, for the lessons. on ...
