MATERIALS NEEDED AT HOME
March Nature Prints March 9th 2026
Cyanotype kit would be amazing, but can be an odd material and get expensive fast.
So they will need cheap construction paper instead
cyanotype paper kit - paper, glass/clear plastic, water bin, sun
or cheap construction paper - window will be needed
masking tape or washi tape if construction paper
Pretty shapes to use in the light (lace, cut paper, printouts on transparency, etc)
Cyanotype will follow our steps
Cheap construction paper (yes it needs to be cheap so that it is not light fast)
They will lay out materials like us - BUT - instead of the water bin and sunlight they will tape down their items using gentle tape Then they will attach their piece of construction paper in a window and leave for a few days. The sun will bleach out the paper and give you the same type of effect

ABOUT THE TEACHER:
I make illustrative art that is explorative and eclectic in nature. Using vivid colors and whimsical themes, I seek to use art as a tool for coping and overcoming the discordant world we live in. Creating both sequential mass consumption pieces as well as stand-alone gallery pieces, I desire my work to captivate a wide audience.
As an art educator in public Title 1 schools, much of my work is inspired and created around the classroom. I tailor projects and lessons to engage and motivate students, impacting my own art making in the process. The resourcefulness and inventiveness of creating art projects accessible to a wide range of students and ages allows me to see multiple possibilities for each art material.
