Professional Skills

In the second unit, I learned several things: Black and White Darkroom, Color Darkroom, Silkscreen, Wood workshop, 3D printing, and liquid emulsion.

Black and White Darkroom

I have specific knowledge of the black-and-white process but last used it long ago. So I had to practice with photo compression, dosh, and burn in black and white. I have a tone checker, so I know how many seconds it takes to shoot. The experts taught me in black and white how to use filters with multigrade paper to adjust the contrast in the image.

Colour Darkroom

The colouring process is new to me as I've never done it before, but the colour compression process is. It has some resemblance to a black-and-white recorder. I think recording in colour is much more complex than in black and white. RGB colors must be consistent; if the film image is not quality, the compressed image will also be poor. Adjusting each colour tone affects the image. Colour compression is something that I have to experiment with a lot.

Silkscreen

During the multiple fairs, I had the opportunity to do screen printing on fabric. During my bachelor's degree, I had the opportunity to study printmaking. Printmaking gives me some knowledge to do this. I have designed three designs. The lines were sent to experts to be blocked and mixed with gold paint and glue to prepare for printing. It took me about two weeks to do. I am so happy and excited to make prints again.

Wood workshop

In the lead-up to the exhibition at the borough house, I planned a life-size coffin. I have studied and found a model of how to make a coffin. What is difficult this time making wood is Cutting according to the degree that this side of the wood has to be cut at this angle and trying to use a woodcutter by writing in Adobe Illustrates to cut the wood to the size we want. These are new to me in logging. But the university has specialists in various fields, including wood workshops, allowing me to do what I want to do in this exhibition.

3D printing

After the exhibition, I had a chance to try 3D printing. I had the file to print before but only got to try it after finishing the second unit. It is an experiment to print by printing sometimes; there must be support for printing. Otherwise, it will not be able to print. It's very satisfying for me. But I'll keep experimenting if there's something I want to reprint.

Installation

Installing works of art is a vital skill built into this unit. This process, which I have planned in Google Sketch Up, has continued to develop. Until the installation remains to be changed, adjust the coffin's position in the center so the audience can look around. An arrangement like this was never thought of. If I arrange the old style, it seems like a wall with nothing. So next time, I need different plans and designs to install the artwork.

Liquid emulsion

I have had the opportunity to experiment with liquid emulsion, which is a liquid emulsion, to create black-and-white images in other materials. besides paper. In the third unit, I will use this technique to create a picture in marble. The material that will make must be a rough or rough area for the solution and the material to stick together. At first, the raised water could not adhere to the surface when learning, so it was applied to another sheet I had prepared. Notably, the iso in the solution is much more complex than paper. Therefore, it must be tested liquid emulsion each time in the test, But in the end, I succeeded in the preliminary experiment.

In summary, I will bring all of the above skills to develop in the work in the next set. I want to thank the technicians in each field for allowing me to study what I want to do.
