Open House and Enrollment for 2022-23 Pod – Talent / Ashland, OR
If you’re interested in joining our Homeschool Co-op 4th/5/6th grade group please come to the open house! You will meet the teacher, learn about the program, and see the space. We are now enrolling for the 2022-23 school year.
At our open house we will have a solar cyanotype printing project available for the students. We do need a headcount for the project, so please reach out to register. Looking forward to meeting you all!
Please find details about our program at this link here: Homeschool Co-Op in Talent, Oregon
Our school is all about creative, project based learning. We integrate traditional academics, but in a unique and hands-on format, which allows students the room to explore daily, and to love their education. Students learn about themselves, their community, and expand outwards to learn about the world and other cultures. I look forward to meeting you at the open house to share more details about what our education looks like!
Cyanotype Photographic Printing Process – Our project at the Open House!
Cyanotype is a process that has been around for almost 200 years. It consists of two chemicals that are mixed, applied to a surface, and exposed to UV light. The cyanotype prints pictured here show the “wet” process. These were created by artist and teacher Debi Scholom during her time in the Dominican Republic, using local plants. Cyanotype is simple, but it offers space for experimentation and customization.
The cyanotypes we make at the open house are the “dry” variety. I’ve prepared the paper for you in advance. And, they will look more like the photo in the very top left picture – blue, with clear white areas. If you have small objects you’d like to use with interesting shapes, bring them! Those who go on to join Global Learners will have a chance to experiment more widely with this photographic process in the spring as a part of our botany project (and there’s definitely a lot of chemistry involved here too!).
