Today we were introduced to fiber paper, the paper we will be using for our final prints. It is much flimsier than RC paper and is harder to work with, but in the end it makes for a way better quality photo. I also learned how to use the dodge tool in which I needed to use to lighten up a picture of my cat, Nomi. After I made multiple test strep's and prints I was ready to start working with the fiber paper. When you switch to a bigger paper size you kind of have to change all your settings for that photo and restart everything, which is exactly what I had to do with the picture of my cat. Which sucked, a lot. Another thing that sucks with using fiber paper is the fact that it takes much longer in the developing process than regular RC paper. For example: fiber paper in the developer takes about 2 minutes compared to RC only taking about 1 minute. In the stop bath it takes 1 minute when with RC it only takes 30 seconds. And the worst part is when you put fiber paper in the fixer you have to wait for 3 minutes as to RC paper it would only take about 2 minutes.
Our homework assignment is to do a writing exercise called: "What do you want your art to say?"
