Cyanotype

In this image a created a piture captured in sunlight.To create this I printed a photo onto photo paper, which then chemicals were wiped on photo paper.Once that was done the paper was plastered on top and left outside for 20-30min.This created a beatiful blue coloured picture that created a lot of contrast and detail.This was my favorite project as it allowed detail and image show up on paper.

Silk Screen

In this image I created a bandana with a silk screen image.To create a silk screen I used a frame and stapled cloth screen to make a tight surface.After creating this emulsion was wiped across the screen and let it dry for a day.Once dried I used a picture printed on photopaper and layed it in light under the screen for 10min.Once that step was done I washed the screen with hot water and scrubbed. This created a image to print with paint.

In this photo I cut out cloth in the shape of a bandana and printed my picture.The photo I created was taken in toronto that had a lot of detail to be able to show all the detail on my print.Overall this project took time but was worth it at the end.

Breaking the Rules of Photography

In these photo's we used a theme of breaking the rules.We took photos that would be not centered,no theme, colour, lighting etc. These 3 photos showed images that weren't centered and no proper lighting.Thesebroke the rules because in the images there are obstacles focusing in the way.This was very challenging but created a good theme by not focusing on how good the photo looks.

Acrylic lift

In this photo we used a picture to create a alternative process called acrylic lift.I used a photo that broke the rules of photography (e.g. not centered).Here I printed a photo with a laser printer and silked it in 8 layers of acrylic medium.Once dried i used water to peel of the layers.This created a beatiful strtchy paper fabric of the photo I used. this process was a bit difficult but lots of fun, the strokes each had to be equal medium and proper to create a clear image.
