Homeschool Explorations - Why is a Blue Print Blue? (Ages 9-11)
*The event has already taken place on this date: Thu, 03/24/2022
A cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue print. Engineers and architects used the process well into the 20th century as a simple and low-cost process to produce copies of drawings, referred to as blueprints. Students use desert botanicals to create patterns, expose their creation in the sun to see the cyanotype chemical reaction, and wash their final print in water.
