A photogram is made by exposing photographic paper, with an object placed on top of it. the resultant image will vary in tone, depending on how transparent the object is.
Here are some examples of Photograms.
Chemigrams are similar to Photograms, but do not require a darkroom, and are made by painting fixer straight onto the paper. These images are more experimental than the Photogram, but are far easier.
We made a chemigram in class.
It was created by exposing photographic paper, then adding fixer by flicking the fixer onto the paper with fingers, or by printing it by pressing my hands onto it. After the fixer was added, I put it into the developer for around 5 minutes, and waited for the sheet to turn black, with the areas I added fixer to staying white. Then I left it in the fixer for 5 minutes in order to fix the image onto the page, then washed it off with the wash (water).
Here is my final chemigram.
