In this session, the teaching artist will guide students through the process of creating their own sun-reactive compositions by laying out foliage on fabric and watching the magic happen! These alternative photographic images are created by using a dye designed to come to life when exposed to the sun, leaving an image of the silhouette of whatever leaves are chosen by the young artist.
