This course explores the dynamic intersection of chemistry and art,
investigating how chemical principles influence the creation, preservation, and analysis of artworks. Students will engage with both scientific concepts and artistic practices, exploring how
materials, techniques, and chemical reactions contribute to the world of art. Topics will include the chemistry of pigments and dyes, the process of creating and restoring paintings and sculptures, the chemistry behind color theory, and the role of chemical reactions in the aging and degradation of art.
