During the second week of school, students in all the visual arts classes collaborated in small groups to create cyanotypes that express the theme, "inheritance", as part of World Cyanotype Day. The 19th century photographic process involves preparing a surface such as fabric with a light sensitive solution. Objects are placed on the fabric, and the areas exposed to sunlight turn Prussian blue, leaving the areas with objects remaining white or light blue. A small group of seniors helped hang a selection of cyanotypes at the Downingtown Library as part of a rotating high school exhibit for the first marking period. More cyanotypes are on view in the Knowledge Commons. Art classes also voted on the cyanotype that best expresses the theme, and that image will be submitted to World Cyanotype Day's online exhibition.
