Contour Drawings

For this contour drawing, I used fruit for the drawing. There was a banana, pear, apple, and corn. I focused on creating shape and depth to the fruit.




I used a leaf from outside the room for this drawing. There was a hole in it from a animal or insect. I focused on the detail of the lines inside the leaf.

Rayogram Picture- Dark Room



For my rayogram, I used pens and sharpie to surround leaves. There is no symmetry but the pens kind of have a relation to each other. I like how the pens surround the leaves and create the feeling that the pens are boxed in. 
In the dark room, you had to first create your rayogram by placing the objects on paper before turing the light on. After the objects are in pace you turn on the light which captures the objects on the paper. Then you put the paper in developer for 2 mins, stopbath for 30 secs, fixer for 4 mins, then water, primawash, then water again. After the process you leave the rayogram to dry. Over the course of the process, you can see the rayogram start to show up on the paper. 
I think I excelled at developing the craft because I followed the process to the rayogram well and the piece turned out well and the boarders of the rayogram are pretty good. I struggled a little with envisioning the picture and I like my picture but I think i could have come up with a cooler or much more interesting image.
