...to make a Photo-gram:
1. inverse copy (negative copy) an image in black & white on overhead paper
2. coat regular white paper with a mixture of Ammonium Iron Citrate & Potassium Ferricyanide mixed with distilled water using a sponge brush
3. let dry in light-tight room (dark room)
4. take outside & arrange objects on top (let stand for 5-15 mins)
5. rinse in water (5 mins)
6. immerse in diluted hydrochloric acid
7. let dry
cyanotype kits
PROTOTYPE:
Cyanotype - use objects directly on top
Rayogram - use a negative of something
Cyanotype - use objects directly on top
Rayogram - use a negative of somethingMY THOUGHTS:
Once again, I loved it. I would definitely use this technique with my class. You can do it with children of any age! I would have my students make a collage of something we were learning about and then make the overheads for them - Have the paper ready to go and have fun!
Here is a comment from my professor,Dan Barney, I didn't realize I had shut off the posting option!
ReplyDelete"Cyanotype is the word that identifies the process. Rayograms or Photograms are usually created by placing an object (as opposed to a negative... we used an inversed transparency as a negative in class)directly on top of the cyanotype as it is being exposed (either in sun or under a UV light... like regular fluorescent lights)."
