Sun-Print Photography
Grade 4-6

Discover the magic of the sun with Sun-Print Photography! In this hands-on and creative class, young photographers will explore the art and science behind cyanotype, a classic photography technique that uses sunlight to create stunning blue-and-white prints. Each day, students will experiment with arranging objects like leaves, flowers, and everyday items on special light-sensitive paper and fabric. When exposed to sunlight, their designs will develop into vibrant, one-of-a-kind works of art. Along the way, they’ll learn about light, shadows, and the fascinating history of this early form of photography. This class fosters creativity, curiosity, and problem-solving as students refine their compositions and uncover the wonders of natural light. By the end of the session, the students will have a collection of unique sun prints and the skills to continue exploring this art form at home. Whether they’re budding scientists or aspiring artists, this class is a fun and unforgettable introduction to the beauty of photography and the power of the sun!
