Photograms! A Thematic Series

by megan mccollum

Photograms are negative-less photographs that are created by placing objects and found materials directly on top of photo paper. In class, we will experiment first with simple techniques for creating successful photograms, and then we'll begin to experiment with multiple exposures and actually moving the objects while exposing them!

During the week this week, create a series of 4 final photogram prints that you can use for a final series. Each of your photograms should demonstrate your ability to make a good exposure (contrast & detail), as well as create an interesting composition. Consider how you will use the space of your compositional format to evenly balance positive and negative space, overlap shapes, and create a visual pathway.

Use the criteria below to identify how your final series will be graded!
