Cyanotype Toning Using Botanicals to Tone Blueprints Naturally

Cyanotype Toning Using Botanicals to Tone Blueprints Naturally

Cyanotype is the most accessible and frequently used of all the alternative photographic processes. When utilized properly it has the potential to rival other processes when it comes to detail and tonal range but its Prussian blue color isn’t always suitable for the final photograph. Throughout history cyanotype prints have been toned not only with various—and at times hazardous—chemicals but also with more natural ingredients like tea and coffee. Since the cyanotype itself is non-toxic Cyanotype Toning will champion an innovative process developed by the author of toning cyanotypes with natural material. This process which is easy and reliable offers a much broader range of possible colors and even beautiful black and whites. Even duotone or tricolor prints can be attained. The book consists of two parts. Part One is a step-by-step how-to section including all the information that a student at any level needs to achieve a successfully toned print. Easy-to-understand background information is provided on how and why the process works so that readers can venture on their own into the world of natural colors. The first part also has a detailed section on all the factors that can influence the outcome like paper choice water quality properties of the plants temperature of the bath and the duration of the toning. Part Two is devoted to contemporary artists who have explored toning with botanicals and integrated the process into their creative practice. The book includes: A list of equipment and supplies needed. In depth information about useful plants and the specific properties that make them suitable for toning cyanotypes. Concise step-by-step instructions for printing cyanotypes successfully. A chart of more than 60 tested papers with recommendations on paper choice. Step-by-step generic instructions on toning with botanicals. Troubleshooting toning with botanicals. More detailed recipes for specific colors with information about the plants. Step-by-step instructions on how to print duotone and tricolor prints. A range of creative ideas on how to use the process in classrooms and with different age groups. A comprehensive list of more than 380 tested parts of plants and possible color outcomes. Using botanicals to tone cyanotypes broadens the color spectrum enlarges creative possibilities and makes the cyanotype process even more versatile. The process is not cut and dried science but a limitless field for discovery and surprises. Cyanotype Toning provides accessible information and instructions for readers at all levels. It is comprehensive and explanatory so that readers can expand on the subject on their own as did the contemporary artists who share their experiences and the works they have created using this innovative toning process. | Cyanotype Toning Using Botanicals to Tone Blueprints Naturally

Texts from the Querelle 1521–1615 Essential Works for the Study of Early Modern Women: Series III Part Two Volume 1

Texts from the Querelle 1521–1615 Essential Works for the Study of Early Modern Women: Series III Part Two Volume 1

Misogyny and its opposite philogyny have been perennial topics in Western literature from its earliest days to the present day but only at certain historic periods have pro-woman authors challenged fundamental negative assumptions about women by engaging in formal debate with misogynists and juxtaposing these two attitudes toward women in pairs or series of texts devoted exclusively to discussing womankind. This dialectic of attack on and defence of the female sex known as the querelle des femmes (debate about women) was especially popular among authors and readers during the sixteenth and earlier seventeenth centuries in England. At least 36 texts exclusively devoted to attacking and/or defending women were published in the hundred years between 1540 and 1640. The works included in these two volumes exemplify the content and the methods of debate in England during those two centuries. Volume one includes texts from 1521 through to 1615. | Texts from the Querelle 1521–1615 Essential Works for the Study of Early Modern Women: Series III Part Two Volume 1

Modernism and the Mediterranean The Maeght Foundation

Modernism and the Mediterranean The Maeght Foundation

Situated in a Mediterranean landscape the Maeght Foundation is a unique Modernist museum product of an extraordinary collaboration between the architect José Luis Sert and the artists whose work was to be displayed there. The architecture garden design and art offer a rare opportunity to see work in settings conceived in active collaboration with the artists themselves. By focusing on the relationship between this art foundation and its Arcadian setting including Joan Miró's labyrinth George Braque's pool Tal-Coat's mosaic wall and Giacometti's terrace Jan K. Birksted demonstrates how the building articulates many of the ideas that preoccupied this group of artists during the culminating years of their lives. The study pays special attention to the ways in which architecture can shape the experience of time and addresses the Modernist desire for wilderness and its problematic roots in the classical Mediterranean ideal. In showing how the design of the Maeght Foundation is a Modernist representation of Mediterranean culture the author has developed an interpretation of architecture that accommodates not only the architect's handling of material or function but shows as well how it can be the embodiment of a particular vision of space and time. | Modernism and the Mediterranean The Maeght Foundation

The last two sections—Urban Nature and Interdependence and The Sustainable City—however bring to life the vibrant relationships between human and nonhuman nature.

Human Factors and Aerospace Safety An International Journal: Volume 1

Human Factors and Aerospace Safety An International Journal: Volume 1

This title was first published in 2001. There have been significant advances in the engineering design and production standards of the hardware and electronics in commercial aircraft. It is now uncommon for the principal (or sole) cause of an aircraft accident to be a component failure. Human error is now implicated in up to 80 per cent of all civil and military aviation accidents. The human being is now arguably the least reliable component left in the system. This basic premise forms the basis for this international journal. The journal focuses specifically on the human element in the aerospace system and its role in either causing accidents or incidents or in promoting safety. The journal solicits contributions from both academic researchers and practitioners from industry. Human factors and safety are applied sciences and this is reflected in the tone and composition of the papers in the journal. | Human Factors and Aerospace Safety An International Journal: Volume 1
