Introduction to Artifact!

Today we started a brand new project called 'Artifact'.
I researched about fine art photography and 3D art installations for my research report which gave me inspiration and ideas for what I may base my project on.

I found fine art photography interesting because it has no limits or rules to follow except that it has to have meaning behind the photo.  I like this kind of photography because I can express my photograpic views in my own way without sticking to a particular convention.
While researching about 3D art installations, I came across many weird and wonderful creations which gave me inspiration for what I may do for my final project. 
The majority of the time, I thought the art installations that artists had created were very abstract and to the outsider it may seem as if it has nothing to do with what the artist had intended, but what got me engaged was that each sculpture I looked at had several different interpretations and I would like to incorporate this style into my later project.

Since I had already done enlarging and processing negatives I thought I would find it easier but it I still had difficulty with getting my picture to include the right amount of black and white. The majority of the time my pictures came out either light or dark and this is something I have to work on. Also, next week I should try to make it a habit to create contact and test strips.
