Looking for a free family activity in Salt Lake City? Look no further than the Utah Museum of Fine Arts! Admission to the Museum is free every third Saturday of the month, and there is always an art-making activity for the whole family. This Third Saturday we will harness the power of the Sun, learn about framing and design using found objects, and create our own unique cyanotype prints.
The Utah Museum of Fine Arts is home to an expansive photograph collection that we will explore to find inspiration for our own photographic art. Cyanotypes are one of the oldest and most approachable photographic processes. You don't even need a camera! Cyanotype prints, like the ones we will be creating, are made by placing objects on top of special paper treated with a UV sensitive solution. When the paper is exposed to sunlight the UV sensitive solution will darken leaving silhouettes of the objects left on top.
