Sunprint snowflakes for Sandy Hook

In light of the recent tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown Connecticut, visitors to Rochester Art Center’s Free Family Day will be creating Sunprint Snowflakes to be used to decorate the school when students return next month.
The goal of the Sandy Hook PTA is to create a “Winter Wonderland” for students when classes resume in a new building. A Sunprint is a cyanotype print made by placing an opaque object on a light-sensitive paper and exposing it to sunlight.
The exposed paper changes to blue in the light, leaving a ghosted image of the object. Children and their families will make unique paper snowflakes to use as their blocking object for these sunprints. Families may take their finished snowflakes and prints home, but will also be asked to make an additional print to send to Sandy Hook.
ABOUT FREE FAMILY DAY
On the first Saturday of each month, Rochester Art Center offers an array of free family-friendly activities:
Hands-On Art Activities. In the third floor studios, children and families can participate in art projects that are designed to
relate to the exhibitions on view at the Art Center.
Arts Interact. Special docent-led tours of the exhibitions designed to spark conversation between children and family
members.
Family Guides. Information on the exhibition along with questions and discussion topics for children and parents.
FREE ADMISSION: 10 am – 5 pm
HANDS ON ART ACTIVITIES: 1 – 4 pm
Free Family Day is sponsored by Charter Communications.
