Follow along with Skyler, age 7, and learn how to make a photogram. Roughly translated from Greek, the word photogram means "light drawing."<br /><br />Materials:<br /><br />• sun-sensitive paper (available online and at art stores)<br />• cardboard<br />• thumbtacks or tape<br />• opaque (not see-through) materials like paper, arts and crafts supplies, or objects found in nature<br />• folder, envelope, or box<br />• tray with water<br /><br />Instructions:<br /><br />1. Use thumbtacks or tape to mount a sheet of sun-sensitive paper on a piece of cardboard.<br />2. Arrange opaque materials on the sheet. You can use paper, arts and crafts supplies, or objects found in nature. Secure them with thumbtacks or tape. <br />3. Protect your photogram from the sun by storing it in a folder, envelope, or box.<br />4. Take it outside and expose it to the sun for a few minutes.<br />5. When the sheet turns light in color, remove it from the sun.<br />6. Indoors, remove the materials from the sheet.<br />7. Place your sheet in a tray of water and develop it for a few minutes.<br />8. Then, let it dry and admire your photogram!
