You may have tried out cyanotype paper when you were younger, a cyan-blue paper that produces a print when exposed to sunlight while covered in objects or negatives for a prolonged time.
Photography classes are dealing with a unique problem in a creative way, that being the use of cyanotype paper. With access to facilities for developing film, either limited or non-existent during the pandemic, experimenting with cyano-prints brings back a hands-on component to learning image-making—and with fabric also being able to hold cyanotype prints, students can experiment in a 3-dimensional space as well. (And get some awesome shirts in the process!)
Students in Black & White Photography have just finished their cyanotype projects and produced a plethora of amazing prints, as pictured here! Even though students are working remotely, chances at hands-on experiences like this bring classes together and melt away the distance.
