Make your own eclipse viewer and connect with the history and science behind photography in this all ages workshop offered in anticipation of the total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8th!
This workshop, on Friday, March 29th at CEPA Gallery, will investigate how the camera obscura, the technology that preceded photography, was used for solar observation and the role it played in the discovery of photography. Students will learn how a camera obscura works, understand its role in photography through making pinhole photographs, then design and build their own camera obscura to use during the eclipse. Students will leave class with a handful of pinhole photographs, a working camera obscura to view the eclipse with, an intro to basic wet darkroom work, and a bit more knowledge of photohistory.
