Figure Ground Investigation Try photographing - a mid toned opaque object against a white background a mid toned opaque object against a black background a mid toned opaque object against a textured background
look at the differences in the images - how do you read them
Try each of these back grounds with a transparent object like a glass or clear bottle
Look to create an image where the figure and ground are reversed - where the background becomes the object and the object the ground.
You will need to pay attention to the exposure for each experiment and may need to use a grey card. |
