Speaking With Pictures
“Speaking Through Pictures” Transforming Lives. Changing Worlds. Project by Tricia Hancock Adams Elementary After School Art Club Final Show Presentation Salted Paper Photogram This photogram triptych was created by students placing objects on top of light sensitive paper and exposing it to light. Here we used the early and popular photographic method of salted paper. We set our compositions in the window sill and watched the paper change to a dark brown color except where the items protected the paper from the sunlight. Cliché Verre Cyanotypes Each print was made using the children’s own drawings in a technique known as cliché-verre and printed using the Cyanotype process, one of the earliest photographic printing processes. Students made their Cliché Verre film by drawing, painting, and scratching their images onto a sheet of acetate. To make the Cyanotype prints, each student placed her/his film onto a piece of paper which had been brushed with a light sensitive solution of iron salts. After exposing this to the light, Art Club members washed and dried their Cyanotype prints to make the beautiful blue images.

From color copies of these images, the students transferred the colors and designs from the copy to the art paper. Rubbing the back of the color copy first with wintergreen oil and then with a spoon to transfer the ink, requires patience, strong arm muscles, and tolerance of the strong smell of wintergreen. The beautiful result incorporates the artists’ style in stroke and craftsmanship.

Collage To create their collages, Art Club members first photographed around Adams Elementary campus with disposable cameras. Then with developed color photographs inhand, students set to work cutting, pasting, drawing, and re-composing their images into new ideas and designs.

Collage Collage Scan-O-Grams Although not generally regarded as photography, scanned images are created through the use of light. “Light Drawing” is the basis of all photographic works, and can be accomplished with the aid of natural or artificial light, with or without a camera.

Once captured, the children modified and personalized their images on their computers.

Lenses consist of a tiny hole, no fancy glass or adjustments. The camera body must be made light tight to control the amount of light exposure. We loaded our cameras with a sheet of black and white silver gelatin printing paper, placed in the camera opposite of the pinhole. A piece of black electrical tape served as ourtoshutter. When we wanted expose our paper, we peeled back the tape, waited for the appropriate amount of time, and replaced the tape over the hole. In the darkroom, teachers Tricia and Kristie developed the printing paper to reveal the captured image. There are variables with pinhole cameras and our pictures didn’t always work. We experienced the emotions of trying failing, learning, retrying, and eventually succeeding.

The print is created by hand-rubbing the print with the back of a spoon.
