This photogram and shows and explores how women have become artists by adopting to the aspects of Art. The name of this photogram is "Becoming a (Woman) Artist". It was made by Eva Hesse.
1986
This was made in my HS photography class as an introduction to the class and working with the equipment and developing solutions.
A photogram is a photographic image made (without a camera) by placing objects directly onto the surface of a photo-sensitive material such as photographic paper and then exposing it to light. The result is a silhouetted image varying in darkness based on the transparency of the objects used, with areas of the paper that have not received any light appearing light and those that have appearing dark, according to the laws of photo sensitivity. The image obtained is hence a negative and the effect is often quite similar to an X-Ray.
This is the original picture of how I developed it, overdeveloped it, or underdeveloped it in Photography class. This has not been enhanced or photoshopped in any way.
Photograms are made many different ways, this one was done by placing different objects (Tic Tacs, a necklace,binder rings, metal nuts, Froot Loops) onto a sheet of photo paper and exposing it for 8 seconds and then developing the print.
