Final first alternative process; supersauce


For this alternative process, I did Super Sauce!
But for this one I did it on wood, instead of metal and glass like other students in the class.
I like the wood the best for this picture and just in general but wood fit best for this picture because my cat are the same kinds of colors that are in the wood.
I didn't get to pick the picture I wanted to put on but i`m glad Mrs.Underwood did!

Super Sauce is east and fun to do so next time I try it for my other alternative process, it will be on glass.

2nd 3D Alternative process

Candle vase:


SuperSauce

Candle

Picture of _____ (something meaningful)

ex.  of super sauce on glass



Supersauce one of my pictures around the candle vase and then drop a candle in the center of the candle vase then VWALAA! a awesome alternative process where the picture glows when the candles in there.
Simple but something different!

Classical Album Cover Project- B Block






  For this classical album project, this picture has many compositional structures. One that stood out to me was the Two Centers which are the two rose buds. Another is the cantilever because the stem of the rose is only supported on one end of the picture and doesn't end with it on the other side. There`s also emphasis on the diagonal and that would be how the rose is going somewhat diagonal through the picture. Those are all the basic compositional structures in this album cover.

Test run - photo 2

For the color manipulation  project, I had some trouble figuring out how to put them all on one page and have them be all one size.

To make them all one size you have to press the crop button,
make them all 6x4 because the measurements of the "ruler" are 12x6.
The resolution is ALWAYS atleast 200.

You crop the picture then you drag them each to the blank page.
you set them each in their section and then flatten all of them.

Then there it is! color manipulation.

Jaclyn`s alternative process: transfering a photo to fabric

1.
Completely cover image with gel medium

2.
Press it onto a piece of fabric a let it dry for several hours or overnight

3-4
After the image is completely dry, use a spray bottle to wet the top of the paper

5. rub the surface with your finger until the peices of paper start coming off. When the peices start coming off then the image will show.

6. Your done!

complications:
Make sure you lay the paper flat
The palmer needs to be all over the paper (edges too)
Dont rub too hard or youll rub the image off
Magazines wont work that well (clay based)

Alix`s alternative process: Cyanotype

1.
Print negative photo on transparency paper.

2.
Mix the chemical solution to brush onto the cotton paper
-25 grams ferric ammonium citrate(green) and 100 ml. water
-10 grams potassium ferricyanide and 100 ml. water

3.
In a dark or dim room brush the chemical solution onto the paper with a brush and leave it in total darkness to dry.

4.
Place the negative on top of the paper and place a peice of glass over that to hold it together.

5.
expose it to light

6.After exposed for 15 min, rinse the print in cold water until the water runs clear and hang dry.

Complications:
Didnt  show onto the cotton paper
(might need to put in more light and leave longer)
