Creepy Crawlies and Other Creatures of the Night

At this time of year, we often think about the creepy creatures of the animal world, including many that are active at night. Learn about some of the amazing talents of these creepy animal friends and what you can do to help them help us! How do you hiss without using your mouth? Eat by using a built-in straw? From animals that look creepy like spiders and bats, to those that just sound creepy, many of these creatures are important predators that help us unseen under the cover of darkness.

Students will experiment with gold leaf or imitation leaf, metallic paint, powder, and wax to enhance and transform cyanotype prints. Through demonstrations and guided practice, we will explore various application techniques, paper and media choices, and how the integration of metal and cyanotype can shape the meaning and visual impact of a work.
