A cyanotype is one of the oldest photographic processes, and is considered Victorian-era print
Each participant is invited to create one original cyanotype. We’ll begin with a mini Nature Scavenger Hunt. We will be gathering nature samples from our designated area in Roger Morris Park, including leaves from the ground, twigs, small stones, and fallen plant matter, while respecting the natural surroundings. After arranging our findings on the special light-sensitive paper provided, your own unique and artistic print will appear after being exposed to sunlight for a few moments. These prints serve as beautiful, enduring keepsakes of nature for you to cherish. Materials are provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

La cianotipia es uno de los procesos fotográficos más antiguos y se considera una tecnología de impresión de la época victoriana. El proceso permite la creación de imágenes fotográficas sin necesidad de cámara. Al colocar objetos directamente sobre papel sensible a la luz y exponerlo a la luz solar, el resultado es una impresión artística y distintiva en azul cian. El erudito británico Sir John Herschel inventó los cianotipos en 1842 y también acuñó el término fotografía. Anna Atkins, amiga de Herschel, logró un importante reconocimiento con la autoedición de “Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions” en 1843, considerado el primer libro ilustrado con imágenes fotográficas.
Se invita a cada participante a crear un cianotipo original. Comenzaremos con una mini búsqueda del tesoro en la naturaleza. Recolectaremos muestras de la naturaleza de nuestra área designada en Roger Morris Park, incluidas hojas del suelo, ramitas, piedras pequeñas y materia vegetal caída, respetando el entorno natural. Después de organizar nuestros hallazgos en el papel especial sensible a la luz proporcionado, su propia impresión artística y única aparecerá después de exponerla a la luz solar durante unos momentos. Estas impresiones sirven como recuerdos hermosos y duraderos de la naturaleza que usted podrá apreciar. Los materiales se proporcionan por orden de llegada.
Bring a picnic blanket and some snacks to Roger Morris Park and enjoy a free screening of Stand and Deliver (1988).
