Students in the Creative Studio class created schematic designs for improvements to our school or other original inventions/designs based on their interests and printed them using the cyanotype process. The cyanotype process (early photographic process created in the mid 1800s) was adopted as a way to print many accurate copies of engineering drawings, hence the term “Blueprints”.
Students were introduced to the cyanotype process by creating photograms with natural materials found on the grounds of our school. They were introduced to the story of Anna Atkins who used the cyanotype photogram process in the 1840s to record thousands of plant specimen and compiled these images into the world's first photography book.
