Anthotype Print Project Webpage – Due December 4th:
Cut your anthotype papers in half (6×12″). You will use 3 of the 6×12″ papers for prints.
Cut the last of your 6×12 pieces into three strips. These are your test strips.
You are required to create at least 3 prints and 3 tests.
It is extra credit to make extra prints and/or try other materials (such as berries and flowers).
Document the whole process by taking photographs and post these images to your website
On your website, create a page called “Early Photography”
On that page, you must include pictures of your materials, process, and results.
Include a minimum of 10 process photographs
Write at least two paragraphs explaining your process along the way. Each photograph must have a short explanation.
Your webpage will be due after Thanksgiving. You should work on it as you create your anthotypes.
Begin collecting TRANSLUSCENT items to be used in your anthotypes. See the idea list below.
If you don’t have the photo kit, or if you wish to experiment, you can use natural items to create your own anthotype dyes for prints. See the list below
Pick up your photography kit at the front office from 8 am to 3pm M-F starting Thursday, November 19th. Office is closed during Thankgiving week.
