Description
Whether you're an experienced artist, a hobbyist, or just starting your artistic journey, cyanotypes are a versatile way to enhance and deepen your practice. This alternative photographic process uses sunlight to create prints, making it an accessible medium to create elevated art at home. In our first class session, you'll learn how to use drawing, composition, botanical materials, and digital processes to express your unique artistic voice. Next, you'll delve into the practical aspects of cyanotype creation, exploring techniques for managing large sizes, working with fabrics, and creating installations. Guided by your instructor, you'll conceptualize a final piece, gathering materials that are meaningful to you: whether botanicals, photographic negatives, objects, or digital printouts. By the end of the course, you'll not only understand how to create a cyanotype but also expand your mind to the possibilities of using this straightforward process to enhance your artistic expression and produce visually impactful fine art.
