Professional Skills
In the third unit, I learned several things: Black and White Darkroom, Color Darkroom, Silkscreen, Wood workshop, 3D printing, and liquid emulsion.
Black and White Darkroom
I know the black-and-white process, but I last used it long ago. So, I had to practice with photo compression, dosh, and burn in black and white. I have a tone checker, so I know how many seconds it takes to shoot. The experts taught me in black and white how to use filters with multigrade paper to adjust the contrast in the image. This skill also affects the ability to print images on marble using the liquid emulsion technique.

Processing Black and White film
The film development process involves mixing an Ilford solution with water to create a Develop solution. The process consists of pouring water at a temperature of 20 degrees, applying DEV according to the film type and time, applying stop bar solution, fixing, and film coating solution. The film is dried in an oven and scanned with a scanner to check the picture.

Colour Darkroom
I discuss their experience with coloring and color compression, comparing it to a black-and-white recorder. They believe the color recording is more complex than black and white, as RGB colours must be consistent and adjust each color tone to ensure quality. I plan to experiment with colour compression and share a photo of Big Ben as a gift for my research festival workshop.

Silkscreen
During unit 2, we had multiple fairs; I had the opportunity to do screen printing on fabric. During my bachelor's degree, I had the opportunity to study printmaking. Printmaking gives me some knowledge to do this. I have designed three designs. The lines were sent to experts to be blocked and mixed with gold paint and glue to prepare for printing. It took me about two weeks to do. I am so happy and excited to make prints again.

Wood workshop
Before an exhibition in the second unit, the author planned a life-sized coffin and studied a specific style for making it. The challenge involved cutting wood according to the level of the wood on one side and using Adobe Illustrates to cut the wood to the desired size. During the summer show, I used the coffins from the second unit in the third unit, opening the lid to allow viewers to experience the coffin's experience.

3D printing
I tried 3D printing but could not print due to time constraints and high costs in the past. I tried printing in two units but found them small. In the final unit, I wanted to print as large as possible, so I printed and assembled the top and bottom parts and painted them for smoothness and uniformity.

Liquid emulsion
I experimented with the liquid emulsion technique on marble, which applies to wood and cement. I discovered liquid emulsion can dodge and burn but cannot multigrade filters, making them unsuitable for contrast. The process involves polishing the stone's surface, ensuring smoothness, and preventing sharp images from turning yellow. Learning this technique will benefit future work.
