As you know it’s that time of year again and the C.R.E.S.T Enrichment after school photo workshop is back in full swing. As always we have introduced the class by creating Cyanotypes aka sun prints.
Our students for this class were amazed by this very easy and fun process. They first decided what objects they wanted to use. The kids were provided with different materials such as buttons, rubber bands, transparent images, safety pins, in order to compose an image. And they were encouraged to use something from nature for some of their prints, such as leaves or flowers. Once they selected their object they were to arrange them on to the paper or cloth creating their own design. The second step was to have their prints put out in the sun to get them exposed. After being exposed the kids rinse out their images and amazed at their new creations.
Here are some examples of Cyanotypes from our Intro to Photography class:

| This sun print was created by one of our 1st graders, Josh. It was nice to see how he manipulated the buttons and the rubber bands to create a face. It reminds me of clown with a very surprised look on his face. |
