26. CONTACT SHEETS
WHY?
To SEE what your photographs
actually look like (in the
positive)!
This will allow you to choose
the photographs that you will
print enlarged, through
assessing their success
(lighting, focus, composition).
31. Let’s set up your film so that you are
ready to make a contact sheet.
1. Cut negatives into strips of 5.
2. Place in Negative Sleeve.
3. Write your name, period, and photoshoot on the top
white area with sharpie.
33. IN THE DARKROOM
1. Take negative sleeve into the darkroom.
2. Pick an enlarger station.
3. Check the elevation of the enlarger by turning on the timer. Make
sure it floods over the contact easel.
4. Turn OFF light.
5. Get photo paper from safe.
6. Open glass. Lay paper in contact easel, shiny side up.
7. Lay negatives on the photo paper neatly.
8. Close glass.
9. Expose for 5.0 seconds.
10.Open glass, remove paper and develop as usual; 1, 30 sec, 4, 10.
11. Collect negatives and take them out of the darkroom. Place them
into your folder / binder.
34. Contact Sheets (10 points)

46. Step 1: Cut Your Paper in the DARK ROOM
Watch this video before cutting your 8”x10” paper into two 5”x7” prints and a test strip. After cutting your
paper, put it in a black plastic bag sealed with masking tape to keep light out.
Mire este video antes de cortar su papel de 8”x10” en dos impresiones de 5”x7” y una tira reactiva. Después de
cortar el papel, colóquelo en una bolsa de plástico negra sellada con cinta adhesiva para evitar la entrada de luz.

47. Step 2: Prepare Your Film
a) AFTER choosing which negative you want to print from, remove
the negative from the negative sleeve. Wipe off the negative with
an antistatic cloth to remove any dirt or dust.
b) Remove the negative carrier from the enlarger and place your
negative dull side down in the carrier. Carefully line up the
negative in the carrier.
c) Re-place the negative carrier into the enlarger.
49. Step 3: Height & Size
Turn on the enlarger to “Focus” mode so that your negative image is
projected down onto the printing easel.
Adjust the height of the enlarger so that your image fills the size of
your enlargement (5” x 7”) on the blank printing easel. (DON’T PUT
THE PAPER THERE YET!)
50. Step 4: Focus
Turn the aperture / lens on the enlarger to shine the brightest
image (all the way to the left), and focus your image with the focus
knob.
Now turn the aperture / lens to shine the dimmest image.
51. Step 5: Test Strip
Turn off the light. Place a test strip on the easel in a diagonal across
the easel. Set your timer to 3 second intervals and make a test strip
of your print including at least 5 different increments.
52. Step 6: Analyze
Develop your test strip. Examine the strip and choose an exposure
time with true blacks and highlights.
53. If the entire test strip is too dark, re-set the lens opening to a
dimmer setting (turn to the right)
If the entire test strip is too light, re-set the lens opening to a
brighter setting, at least one click to the left.
54. When returning to your enlarger, check that the image is still in
focus, refocusing if necessary. Check also that your image still fills
the appropriate spot on your easel.
55. Step 7: Paper!
Carefully open the easel without moving
it and slide a piece of photographic
paper against the metal stops on the
easel. Close the easel SLOWLY without
moving the paper.
Before exposing your paper, write your initials, the f-stop, and the
number of seconds for your exposure on the back of your paper.
56. Step 8: Exposure
Set the timer for the desired time determined by viewing the test
strip and expose the paper.
These exposure settings, including the lens opening AND timer
settings apply ONLY to this enlarger height. If the size of the
print is changed, a new test strip is necessary.
57. Step 9: Studio Habits
When finished, pick up all of your materials and leave the work area
ready for the next user.
59. How and why might artists tell the story of their creative
process?
How can refinement and craftsmanship enrich a narrative?
Why might some narrative works be shared, and how do we
choose which artwork to share?
How might an artist decide when artwork is complete?
