What better way to welcome the first warm days of summer than making solar prints?
My kindergarten artists were thrilled to be outside, and were mesmerized by the
magic of light. After a thorough demonstration, artists picked subjects from materials we had gathered outside and brought from our classrooms. They carefully arranged their items on clipboards so that they could work quickly once they got their light sensitive paper. After creating interesting compositions, we let our prints develop in the sun and soak in a cool water bath. It did feel like
magic watching the paper change color in the sun and then again in the water bath.
