A photogram is a contact print made without a camera by placing objects directly onto light-sensitive material and exposing it to light. The document discusses the history of photograms, provides instructions for creating photograms using various objects, and outlines the darkroom process for developing photographic paper, including steps for the developer, stop bath, fixer, and water rinse. Students are assigned to create a photogram that conveys a specific mood through dynamic composition and are graded based on achieving this goal as well as proper exposure and processing techniques.
