Photogram Hand ( Darkroom Project)

In this Project we had the opportunity to make an image and use the darkroom. I first outline the shape of my hand. Next, I was able to place i clear film paper (overhead sheet) over my hand outline. I began to decorate and design my hand as i desired to. After I was finished with my hand I took my overhead/ outline paper into the dark room. I placed my outline paper onto the overhead. Then I place my clear sheet on top of the outline paper. I set the glass on top of my papers and place my hands on the glass. I set my exposure time to 5 - 7 seconds. I flipped the toggle switch on, while carefully keeping my other hand on the overhead still. When the light flicked off that was when i was able to take my hand off the overhead. Lastly, I place my paper into the developer for 30 seconds as I seen my figure of my hands and the design appear, then picked up my paper, using tongs, and place them in the rinse container that washes off the chemicals, Next I place my paper in the mixer/ toner container, then let my paper rinse off for a bit. I let my picture air dry on the clothes pin line. I liked and enjoy making this because it informed me on how artist make, develop, and enhance the visual of a picture when going to the darkroom. I would like to advance more creativity and try something unique of my own.
