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 how to create a cyanotype, including the process to get the objects to appear. I also learned that it is both fun and time-consuming. I found out about how to get the cyanotype to come out in what you see above. The process to make a cyanotype is you find a flat object to put on cyanotype paper that is light sensitive. Once you have the object, you put a pane of glass over it and put it out in the sun for 25 minutes. And then after 25 minutes, you take the pane of glass and put the cyanotype in the sink and rinse it and let it dry.
