The Chemistry of Art and Artifacts: A Sophomore-Level, Thematic Chemical Instrumentation Course

The Harmony between Chemistry and Art: An Example of Artistic Dermocosmetics Chemistry Laboratory Practice

“…Furthermore, most students had positive opinions about the practice and group work. This finding was also confirmed by some other studies in the literature. − This research, which allowed for the basic level production of dermocosmetic products that are already intertwined within daily life with an artistic point of view in a chemistry laboratory, may further help to raise the awareness and improve the creativity of students. Another aim of art education is to raise creative and self-confident individuals who have artistic literacy, who aim to solve the problems they may encounter in daily life with a new perspective, and who can create associations by bringing emotions, thoughts and designs together. , College educators or high school instructors could effectively use this course, which was developed as a combination of chemistry and art, in their teaching of traditional chemistry courses in relation to real-life situations.…”

“…Labby (2021) 19 described a sophomore-level chemistry course concerning the analysis of art and artifacts. In the study, the applications included the detection of molecules by gas chromatography, the analysis of the pigment composition of paintings by X-ray fluorescence, and the pigment synthesis by Xray diffraction.…”
