Inspired by artist Han Qin

Artist Han Qin creates extremely large drawings that hang from the top of the wall to almost the floor, and she makes her drawings in a special way. She uses special light-sensitive blue paper that records the shape of anything on top of it when a bright light shines on the paper, and the object blocks out the light. The object leaves a white silhouette image that seems to blend into the blue, and this way of making an image is called a cyanotype. When Han Qin makes her cyanotypes, she often has people dancing or posing on top of the paper and uses the shapes their bodies make to create.

Materials:white paper, thin cardboard (like from a cereal box), pencil, blue crayon or marker, and a scissor.
