Solar Powered Painting — Carol Flueckiger

Menu

Solar Powered Painting is my outreach workshop which asks participants to “paint with the sun,” uses art as a launchpad for discussions on solar energy and renewable energy industry. Workshops are conducted in my classes and on site at destinations such as Solar Energy International, Paonia, CO, Freedom Solar, Austin, TX, McDonald Observatory, Fort Davis, TX. Technically the workshop entails coating large fabric sheets with light sensitive material, placing objects such as a bicycle, keys, sunglasses, on top of the light sensitive material, exposing the whole to sunlight and rinsing in water to reveal shapes where the objects blocked the sunlight.
