Cyanotype

Purpose:

• To learn about cyanotype and its relevance to the history of photography;

• To learn about positive and negative space, as well as organic, natural shapes;

• To use principles of art to create a unique design.

I learned about how cyanotype create prints of things using negative space.  If you take a specific paper and put things over it, then put glass over it, and leave it under the sun, it creates spots of negative space where the items were, creating a print, usually in 2d. My print is some leaves, and I think it is very cool that just by leaving something out in the sun, it can create negative spaces on a paper.
