Graham Jensen has been exploring photography for his independent project in advanced art. Since the darkroom is waiting on ventilation, he has been exploring cyanotypes. He recently has been researching cyanotypes on glass. We made our own gelatin earlier this week and he got his first image today!! He has some adjusting to do, but we were so excited to see an image today! Both teacher and student have learned a lot in the past 6 weeks… lots of trial and error, and lots of failed attempts. So excited to see where his project will go!
Good luck to our Jr High Basketball teams today!
