Cyanotype Print Making
Fifth grade is studying the five major types of energy (Mechanical, Electrical, Light, Thermal, and Sound).
Our pictures below show an investigation into LIGHT ENERGY. On this this day, students were given a sheet of cyanotype paper (Sun Print Paper). Students did a quick search outside for items to be “printed” on the paper. In order for this type of printing to happen, objects are placed on the cyanotype paper and left in the sun for 5-10 minutes. As luck would have it, the day we do this is CLOUDY!
Our prints did not turn out as well as we hoped for, but light energy was investigated and we will give this experiment another try on a sunny day!
“Travel light, live light, spread the light, be the light.”
