Sun Prints
by Kimberly Roach
Students will combine science and art by using an alternative photographic process called cyanotypes or sun prints. After a short introduction to the history of cyanotypes and the process of creating one, students will go on a nature walk to collect objects from nature. Once back in the classroom, students will layout their composition using the objects from nature, place their sun print composition in the sun for a few minutes, rinse the exposed sun print in water, and place on a drying rack. After 24 hours, when the cyanotype is dry, as if by magic, the area were the nature objects were appear white and the area where there were no nature objects is a cyano blue.
