Trial Day Induction to most! 5th Oct.

Print making

Firstly we went down to the Print making room to be inducted to use all the equiptment down there. the first part of the day was talking about Health and Safty. These were pretty basic health and saft eg, always were shoes and the aprons, no music and no eating etc. 

after this we were shown how to do a stencil.. which i thought was rather obvious but still was nice to see another artists approach to making a stencil. For when we have the full day down in the printing room we need to do 5 stencils (1 cut only to make it easy) should be simple, a serious of images compined and layered up to get a good compostion, maybe a sequence of your object like Andy Warhol's Canned soup.Then we were told for are day with the print making that we needed 5 stencils. I've done print making before and didnt really enjoy it i'll have to judge after i've done it again. 


Book making;

Then we had a very quick look on book making, which ment we needed 10 A1 peices of paper for the next day. we were given quick instructions on how to make the book which sounded very long.. and boreing.. and something i instantly thought would be crap. book making really dosent sound like my specialism! The instructions were A1 paper cut into A3 peices of paper. then fold the pages, then make start soeing them together.. then make a binding and cover and walha! your done. 


Photography


Photography was my favourate of the day, i think this is becuase its a media which i know and very fond of, the teacher we had was called dave and instatly was my hero just really really knows his area of expertes, extremely intresting and smart. we were told about the aperture and shutter stuff i had known before but its always right to be rememinded. A really intresting fact i was told was that camera phones show us more colours than we realy see, if you shine a tv remote at a camera and take the photo you see infered. in photography we were told the 3 main objects for this year in photography are; 

• explore
• recording of are work
• learn new methods 

then another big question was ' whats photography?' all of us gave alot of differant opinions but daves opinion was, ' the recording of light on a subject dimentional reduction.' he told us that if we always used automatic we have to only use manual with him, and if we use manual mostly we have to only use automatic. i usally use automatic if i'm just shooting down the street or in surounding which move around constantly, but i do really like doing manual photos as well, and if i'm doing a shoot or if i'm just taking landscape photos.
