SMP would like to thank the students, teachers, assistants,
volunteers, and parents for a fun and successful camp this
year. We hope to see everyone again next year.
Below are some examples of the creative projects that our
students participated in during the camp...![]() |

What is the most important item to bring into the darkroom? Your imagination, of course! Photograms are contact prints, made when objects are placed in “contact” with a light sensitive material (in this case, paper on an easel) and exposed beneath an enlarger. The children placed objects of all sizes, shapes, and textures on their easels, creating patterns and silhouettes of everything from spare change to lace doilies. Objects with varying opacities produced various effects: silver keys became stark white outlines; feathers filtered light to give a soft and delicate appearance; sponges soaked up the light to produce heavy shadows. Some campers even used their hands to block the light, becoming part of their art in the process and adding that personal touch. Job well done! The “cameraless” works of art (below) are examples of the kids’ photograms. |

Their bright ideas quickly light up the studio! Joanna chose to use a light pen—for more precise work—and spelled out her name (see middle picture). We think that was t-e-r-r-i-f-f-i-c! |

As seen above, the kids underwent their very own “blue” period in photography. |
