Art: Recording Memories with Cyanotypes

Third graders have been exploring cyanotypes (a form of photography) with Mrs. Hiivala. To experiment with the medium, girls recorded a memory of a place using found objects and cyanotype paper. They shared stories as they arranged materials, made predictions while they waited for the paper to be exposed to the light, and analyzed the results of their experiments. Ask your third grader which memory of a place she chose to record, which objects remind her of that place, and why.
