the strongest technical aspect of my work is the use of the different scales of white gray and black. The final product of the picture is the one in the middle of all the others. On the final one i could have had a little more white but after multiple tries it was becoming very difficult to find the exact numbers to get it to have white in it but i eventually got to a place where there was little white. The easiest part of this activity was taking the pictures. The most difficult part of this project was getting the picture to come out right, it took me many different test strips on big and small paper and many different tries to finally get a picture that i was happy with. I demonstrated the objective of this activity by taken the picture, developing it not a small piece of paper and then choosing an image to enlarge while enlarging the image i created test strips in order to find out exactly which f stop and how much time to set the enlarger to. If i could do this art activity again i think it would come out a lot better but i began to get very frustrated with this activity so i began to stop trying as hard as i could've if i had known at the beginning what i know now i think it would have been a lot easier to create the picture.
Averie, I love your honesty. Frustration is difficult to work through but you did it. Moving forward, I know you will find this process much easier. If you get on an enlarger at the very beginning of class you should be able to make a contact sheet/test strip on a small piece of photo paper. Choose the best exposure and repeat contact sheet on the small photo paper. Then choose the best negative and repeat the test strip process on small photo paper. Do not go to big paper until absolutely sure. This process is a lot to take in at first but trust me it becomes easier. Keep up the good work.
