Value Photography Work in Progress


1. I developed craft by taking pictures of different installations. It was hard because with the film cameras you couldn't see how the pictures turned out, and you had a limited number of pictures that you could take. I also learned how to use the enlarger to develop photos.
2. For this project, we used the film cameras and the enlargers as well as the chemical needed to develop photos.
3. As you can see, my second print was ruined because someone left their print on top of mine while it was drying. This made the paper tear a little, causing there to be a white spot in the middle of my print.
4. I'm going to have to reprint my photo because it was ruined.

Value Drawing Work in Progress

1. I developed craft in this project by observing my installation and drawing what I saw, paying attention to darks and lights.
2. I used mostly my 2B and my 6B pencils for drawing and shading in this project because they have a heavier line quality and make darker lines. I tried to use hatching following the shape of my objects in this project to give my work more dimensionality and bring out the shape of the objects.
3. I had some problems with the drawing part of this project because our installation and light source were moved around a lot so the objects weren't always in the positions that I had originally drawn them in.
4. I'm trying to solve this problem by marking where the object and the light source are on the table, but I still don't always get the same shadows every-time.
