Sunprint Solar Art

Make art with the power of the sun. Fun, leaning, and creative.

Developed by educators at the Lawrence Hall of Science, Sunprints encourage an interest in the photographic process using only sun, water, and a bit of imagination.

This magical photo-sensitive paper allows you to create your own blue and white artworks. Simple place an object like a flower or leaf onto the paper and leave it in the sun. After a few minutes, remove the objects and rinse the paper in water to make the silhouettes stay permanently on the paper. Encourage scientific curiosity and creativity together.  This is a fun activity for budding artists and scientists of all ages – get creative with your object choices and layouts to make a master-piece! Kit contains 12 sheets of Sunprint paper (10 x 10cm).
