The Light Factory: Fun with Sunprints

Did you know that photography literally means “to write with light”?  Join the Education Team of The Light Factory for a lesson in photographic science.  We’ll be part of the Life is Your Lab and Your Studio…Full STEAM Ahead! event on Tryon Street, ready to explain the chemistry behind making a sunprint: an abstract picture with light sensitive paper.  Learn how the camera operates like a human eye and all kinds of other science-based photo facts.

If it’s cloudy, explore the indoors with The Light Factory’s galleries inside Spirit Square that feature fine art photography and digital video about the environment, with The Calm before The Storm in the Knight Gallery and Earth Exchange in the Middleton McMillan Gallery.  Learn more at www.lightfactory.org.
