Drawing with light and color. Cyanotype for children and adults

Description

Cyanotype is one of the oldest photographic techniques in existence. Flat or transparent objects are placed in the sun on special papers until the shape appears as a bright silhouette on a glowing blue background. The famous, Dresden-based photographer Hermann Krone himself used the cyanotype to capture his daily life in the 19th century. Following in his footsteps, we will experiment with this exciting technique and find out what effects we can create. For this, we will first take a look at Hermann Krone‘s original photographs before heading out to explore the area around the Hermann-Krone-Bau in search of suitable objects. Whether plants, stencils or your own motifs – there are no limits to your creativity. No previous knowledge is necessary, just a desire to experiment! Come by and create your own unique works of art in deep blue.
Material will be provided, you can also bring your own objects.
