Learn the art of cyanotype photography, a 19th-century alternative printing medium with luscious blue tones on hand-coated paper. We will begin in the Digital Arts Media Lab, making full-size digital negatives from your digital files, photographs, or small film negatives. Next, we will press that large negative on top of the hand-coated paper in a contact print frame and expose it to the sun. The simple development of an archival print requires only running water. In addition, we will experiment with many post-production toning and painting techniques to transform our blue cyanotype originals into other colors and manifestations.
