Photograms

Photograms, sometimes known as "shadow pictures" were first created by American photographer Man Ray. The images are made by positioning objects over enlarging paper and then projecting light on them. Areas that are completely covered will develop out white and those areas illuminated by the enlarger light will be black. Different values of gray will occur when some light passes through and object or wraps around a curved object. Our photography students experimented with both found objects and cut paper stencils to create these images.

A new way to see Student artwork!

The Mahopac High School Art Department welcomes you to our new digital gallery. Our Students are creating amazing artwork every day, but unless your are visiting our building you won't get an opportunity to see it. This new blog will allow folks an opportunity to see their child's work, and occasionally work in progress.
