Lumen Printing
$40.00 – $50.00
A 1-Day Class
Saturday, October 14th
2:00p.m.–6:00p.m.
Ages 13+
A 1-Day Photography Class for Ages 13+
This course is an introduction to a cameraless printing process known as lumen printing! Students will use botanical materials and light sensitive photographic paper to create photograms, AKA lumen prints. This alternative process for photography requires no camera to create vivid and colorful prints. As the plant materials used lie under the sun and glass and release moisture on the paper, they combine with the chemistry to create the colors in paper that would otherwise be black and white.
Learning Outcomes
Students will learn how to employ materials to create a successful lumen print
Students will learn why the chemical process of lumens works
Students will utilize figure ground relationships for dynamic compositions
