What could make Good Friday any better than no PHO 111 class? Hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend.However, if you want/need to talk to me I will be on campus. I will either be in Wathena in the print room or in the gallery in at Art building. Just let me know.
If you are planning on participating in the Cyanotype Workshop next Friday, you might want to start drying some flowers/leaves if you wish to do botanicals. The purpose of the workshop for us is to pay homage to Anna Atkins. If you don't want to do plants, you might want to think of objects you want to collect to bring to class. If you have any old negatives that you want to make prints of that will work also. Just keep in mind your print will be the same size as your negative.
The paper size is 3x3 and 5x7 for your final prints.

You can also use this process to make a "Rayograph" as Man Ray liked to call them or photograms as others call them.
