In art last term photographers were looking at 'what is a photogram?' and ' what is negative and positive space'. We first looked at what positive and negative space is. Positive space is the subject or area of interest in the artwork. Negative space is the background or the area that surrounds the subject.
When looking at what is a photograms we had a slide that we had to fill in about photograms. Before looking at the slide we had to do a modern day "photogram" where we gathered things around school or in the class room, placed them on the photocopier and photocopied them. When photocopying them we played around with the settings on the copier. We played around with the colours, size and brightness. When we had done around 6-10 of them we had pick 1-2 to cut shapes out of them. Once we cut shapes out we had to either use paint or pastel to play around with the positive and negative space on the cut outs. We then went on to our slide and added to the slides. We had to add all our work we had done that related to the slide. Now that we were on the slide we had to play around with layering something on top of our cutouts. We then played around with the contrast and brightness. Taking out details, adding in new details that could only been seen with the contrast and brightness being played around with. We then played around with recolour. All this was done using google slide and the editing effects that were on there. Is a series put together from all the previous slides. With some of the images I rotated them.
