Experiments...
We all as a class went outside to do our cyanotypes. Mr Nicholls firstly showed us how to do it, after a while everyone got there paper out and each one of us placed different objects on it and because of the suns light the paper exposed and it will make yellow marks on the paper, after a few minutes we all put our paper into clean water rinsed the yellow bit and it became white, and left it to dry and got these as a result:
Image #1:
I began using hard and heavy objects, so I have an example of what to do. As you can see I have used a scissors and my hand. With my first attempt its a simple one it doesn't have any shadows or anything because its my first attempt. On my objects not as much sun was reflected as much on the second attempt.
Image #2:
In my second attempt i have used different materials and objects so it can look better than my first attempt. Also this one looks much better then my first one this is because i have more materials and objects and also theres shadows on the objects.
