Using "Blueprint Photography by the Cyanotype Process"

Abstract

Do you want to try the cyanotype process with your students? That's easy to do! Start with JCE Classroom Activity #19, Blueprint Photography by the Cyanotype Process, by Glen D. Lawrence and Stuart Fishelson (JCE, 1999, 76, 1216A–1216B). In this ready-to-use activity, students create their own cyanotype paper and use it to make blueprint photographs in the sunlight. It's a great way to connect chemistry with art.
