Define and explain basic chemical terms, principles and concepts presented in the lecture.
Properly operate laboratory equipment to collect data to be used in art projects.
Master basic laboratory techniques including, but not limited to weighing samples (liquid and solid), determining sample volumes, measuring the temperature of samples, heating and cooling a sample or reaction mixture, decantation and filtration.
Discuss chemical reactions that take place under various circumstances and their uses in the creation of both 2 and 3-dimensional works of art.
Discuss the use and harmful effects of chemicals to the environment and to human health, including the importance of safe disposal of toxic chemicals.
Evaluate safety issues in chemical reactions, laboratories and the art studio and take precautions to minimize risk.
Utilize chemical mixtures prepared in the laboratory to create works of art.
Calculate molar mass of chemical compounds, and molarities of solutions to prepare solutions to be used in art projects.
Understand qualitative chemical techniques for determining the presence of particular chemicals in a piece of art, and relate this information to the art’s authenticity.
Interpret information from data represented in charts, graphs, tables to relate laboratory experimental observations, calculations, and findings to theoretical concepts presented in the complementary lecture course.
Course Description Chemistry in Art Laboratory is a laboratory course designed to complement the theory and concepts presented in the Chemistry in Art lecture component. The laboratory allows students to develop basic chemical laboratory techniques for obtaining and analyzing experimental observations pertaining to chemistry and art using diverse methods and equipment.
