Anna revolutionised the art genre cyanotypes. We made our cyanotypes by putting chemicals onto paper in the dark room, then we went outside and chose a piece of nature like a leaf or feather. We then clipped it to the paper and left in the sun for 5minutes. The UV rays burnt the details of the leaf/feather onto the paper creating our own piece of art.
