Use the Sun’s ultraviolet light to create art. Ultraviolet light waves have enough energy to break the bonds of chemicals, like the dyes in paper. This changes the paper’s color. Sun prints work by shielding areas of the paper from sunlight. These areas remain the original color while the rest of the paper gets lighter.
