    COURSE TITLE Cyanotypes Blue Prints COURSE CODE WC1801PR89 TUTOR Melanie King DATES 10th & 11th November 2018 DAY & TIME Saturday & Sunday, 10:00 am - 5:00 pm LEVEL This class is suitable for those aged 18 or over. All levels welcome COST £165 LOCATION Mermaid Court, ​click here​ ​for a map Daily breakdown Days Topic/skills covered Preparing the chemistry. Coating paper with the photosensitive solution. Sat Making photograms using UV from the atmosphere. Colour tinting prints. Preparing digital negatives on a computer. Making contact prints using an Sun industrial UV exposure machine. The Cyanotype​ method is an incredibly versatile, simple and fun process to learn. The Cyanotype was invented by Sir John Henry Herschel in1841. This early photographic process produces distinctive and striking Prussian blue images which can also be toned in various other colours. Simple and economic, it remained in use well into the twentieth century as a means of reproducing architectural and engineering drawings as Blueprints. In more recent times, the Cyanotype has been rediscovered by contemporary artists. Also sometimes known as sun printing, the Cyanophyte process is one you can easily learn to do in a weekend. It offers a perfect introduction to alternative and traditional photographic processes and to the use of computers to produce photographic negatives for such processes. The course takes place in the Print Studio and also utilises the Digital Suite at the Art Academy. Both facilities offer a much wider programme of evening, weekend and daytime courses throughout the year. Please refer to our website for full terms and conditions: Mermaid Court, 165A Borough High Street, London SE1 1HR www.artacademy.org.uk/terms-conditions/ 020 7701 2880 The cyanotype process is simple, non-toxic and can be adapted and incorporated into a range of other printmaking techniques such as photo-etching and mono-printing.

  • Holographic Works in the Collection of the National Gallery of Australia Andrea Wise
    7th AICCM Book, Paper and Photographic Materials Symposium, 2012 More than meets the eye: Holographic works in the collection of the National Gallery of Australia Andrea Wise The National Gallery of Australia (NGA) holds a varied collection of new media, which includes intriguing virtual art such as holograms. Whether the term ‘new’ can still be applied to holography is debatable; the theory was announced in 1948, with the realisation in images occurring after the invention of lasers in the 1960s. Famously, Salvador Dali claimed to be the first artist to have worked with holography with his 1972 New York exhibition. This, however, was not strictly true as there had been two previous dedicated hologram exhibitions in the US in 1968 and 1970, highlighting the enthusiasm with which the medium was taken up by artists. Over the years hologram materials and techniques have evolved, becoming more sophisticated and, reflecting similar trends to those in photography, incorporating digital technology with applications in art, science, industry and medicine. Holograms are part of everyday life, and extraordinary developments in colour holography have led to artists working exclusively in the medium, producing entire exhibitions created in holographic images. This paper considers some of the implications of these works for the conservator and provides a brief summary of the history and manufacture of holograms, together with an overview of the materials and techniques of a small selection of holographic images in the NGA collection by Paula Dawson and Margaret Benyon. Both artists have been creative with the technical process, collaborating with a wide range of scientists and technicians over the course of their careers, incorporating different holographic methods as these evolved.

  • Holographic Photochemistry, a Summary
    Holographic photochemistry, a summary MAS 450/854 Introduction In holography class, we use “silver halide” plates exclusively as our photosensitive medium. “Silver halide” (sometimes referred to as AgH) is a term that includes silver chloride (AgCl) and, most commonly and also for our plates, silver bromide (AgBr). These plates are coated with an emulsion of gelatin (animal renderings, just like Jelloª) in which is suspended grains of silver halide crystals. These silver halide grains are sensitive to light. When a plate is exposed to light, a photons from the light source stream through the emulsion. Once in a while, a photon bumps into a silver grain. If a certain number of photons hit a grain, a small site of metallic silver is formed on that grain. Think of this site as being a mark on a silver halide grain. The chances of a grain being marked depends on the size (surface area) of the grain, the amount of light, and the length of exposure. In holographic emulsions, the grains are very fine (have a small surface area) in order to reproduce small fringes, so they aren’t very likely to be marked and thus such emulsions aren’t very sensitive. Collectively, the marked grains form a “latent” image: an invisible yet recorded pattern in the emulsion. Developers All of our plate processing begins with development. Developers are responsible for turning marked silver grains completely to metallic silver, which looks black when it is very small. Developers “amplify” the effect of exposure and make pho- tography as we know it possible.

  • Chemistry of Photographic Processing
    CHEMISTRY OF PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESSING A camera has been called a “magic box.” Why? Because the box captures an image that can be made permanent. Photographic chemistry explains how this happens and this instruction sheet is a presentation of basic photographic chemistry. THE EMULSION The first magical part of photographic chemistry is the photographic emulsion. As you recall, film is made up of a support and an emulsion. The emulsion has two major ingredients: Silver Halide Crystals and Gelatin. The silver halide crystals capture the photographic image. The gelatin holds the silver halide crystals in place, somewhat like Jello holds pieces of banana in place. The silver halide crystals are more important than the gelatin in an emulsion because they are light sensitive. The photographic image formed when light strikes the silver halide crystals is invisible or latent. Photographic processing chemicals make the latent image formed by the light sensitive halide crystals visible and permanent. GENERAL CHEMISTRY FACTS To learn how photographic processing chemicals make latent images visible and permanent, it is necessary to learn some general facts of chemistry. ELEMENTS Chemically, everything in the universe is made up of about 100 different elements. An element is the simplest kind of matter because it contains atoms of only one kind. As an example, oxygen is an element because it contains only one kind of atom. In addition, silver has only one kind of atom, so silver is also an element. We can divide elements into two classes: metallic and non-metallic. Silver is a metallic element. The table below shows elements of interest to photography and whether they are metallic or non-metallic.

Bokeh has been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light".[6] However, differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause some lens designs to blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce blurring that is unpleasant or distracting—"good" and "bad" bokeh, respectively.[2] Bokeh occurs for parts of the scene that lie outside the Coarse bokeh on a photo shot with an 85 mm lens and 70 mm entrance pupil diameter, which depth of field. Photographers sometimes deliberately use a shallow corresponds to f/1.2 focus technique to create images with prominent out-of-focus regions. Bokeh is often most visible around small background highlights, such as specular reflections and light sources, which is why it is often associated with such areas.[2] However, bokeh is not limited to highlights; blur occurs in all out-of-focus regions of the image.
