Making Photograms

          In this project we were assigned to create three different types of photograms. The three types are abstract, symmetrical, and landscape. The first step in this project was to make replicas of them on construction paper. After this you bring it into the dark room and put it on film paper. I used the enlarger to make the photogram. The final step was putting it through the same chemical process as I did when making positive pictures. In the picture you can see my process. The idea of this was to make a photogram with black, grey, and white color. My best example is my landscape where the negative space is black, the cloud is grey, and the mountains are white.

Photogram PowerPoint Presentation: Pablo Picasso

For this powerpoint on photograms, I chose Pablo Picasso to research. I used Keynote for my powerpoint. In my first slide I have the name, career, and an image of my artist. For the next slide I included his date and place of birth with a map of the country he was born in. The next slide explains three major activities he did in his career. Throughout my next three slides i have three images of each of the things he did. On my last slide I have his date and place of death  with an image of the country he died in. After i completed my powerpoint I exported the images of each one and put on my post. By creating this powerpoint I learned a lot about photograms and Pablo Picasso.
