This lesson we looked at last weeks work and discussed what we could do to improve it. We separately talked to Mr Hind and he talked to us about our books and our blogs, and again how we could improve them. He told me that in my blog I have to talk a lot more about how I feel, and what I think.
This lesson we went out and took pictures again. This time we had to words to base the photos on, they were: Pattern and Texture. I worked with Tia again as we think that we make a good team. I found this week fun as the words we were given were hard to work with but the challenge made it fun.
Some of the things we took pictures of were: wood, flowers, leaves, bricks etc
I found that the picture with the leaf and the bark of the tree was most effective as is shows both smooth and rough textures.
When we came back we went into the dark room to do our contact prints. We then had to choose which pictures we wanted to develop. I find this easy to do as i feel I am quite confident at it. We then had to produce a test strip so that we had some idea of how long to keep the light on for when coming to our final prints.

Today we developed our film strips.
We firstly had to create a contact print, which is where the film strip and the photographic paper are in contact with eachother when deveolping, then we had to do some test strips before doing our final prints to see how long we need to expose it to the light. We lastly did some final prints.
Test strips- we had to test to see how long we needed to leave the light on for the final prints. We did this by using a peipce of cardboard and covering all but one strip of the paper, then leave the light on for 2 seconds. You then have to move the cardboard along and leave the light on for another 2 seconds. You keep on doing this until you reach the end of the peice of photographic paper. You are then left with a peice of stripy paper with different tones on. You then find the strip that looks the best and you look to see how long it was under the light for and you use this information when printing your final prints.

This lesson we changed groups. We are now doing a unit called artefact.
We learnt how to put a film into a camera, then we got into pairs and gives a word. We then based our picturesa that we went out and took around this word. I worked with Tia Waterfield, and our word was isolation.
Me and Tia decided to take pictures of a glove, a duck, a flower, a pidgeon, a car and various different bins on their own. We also decided to take a picture of Tia holding a piece of paper with the word isolation on it because we both thought that it would look kind of good.
When we all came back we took the film strips out of the camera and then put them in chemicals to turn them into negative film strips. We then looked at some artists. They were: Tracey Emin, Damien Hirst, Antony Gormley and Louise Bourgeois.
I didn't really enjoy any of their artwork, especially Tracey Emin, as she seems to me, that she is obsessed with sex...
