Creative Adventures with Artist Julie – BLAST Residency

Ms. Cullinan and Ms. Dolphin’s classes recently had the wonderful opportunity to work with artist Julie through the BLAST Arts in Education Residency Programme. Over the course of four weeks, the students explored abstract art and learned about cyanotypes — a fascinating photographic printing process that dates back to 1842, developed by Sir John Herschel.

Using natural, foraged materials, the children created their own unique cyanotype prints. They thoroughly enjoyed experimenting with this sun-printing technique and embraced the creative process with enthusiasm. It was a fantastic artistic journey, and the pupils had a memorable and inspiring experience with Julie.
