Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Making sun prints with these supplies would make learning science and art fun and easy. My classes focus on the concepts of making images to express ideas and concepts. The making of art can be fun but sometimes time consuming and complex.

Making Cyanotype prints is fun and easy but the science is where the magic of learning creates awe.

Anyone can make the prints with little no to no experience. You can experiment with sun exposure and with composition.

My students are going to take several photos that we will print to make negatives and have students arrange their layouts with a potpourri of items that will make amazing prints.
