Integrates chemistry and art with activities and demonstrations that enable students to see and understand how the science of chemistry is involved in the creation of art. This book investigates such topics as colour integrated with electromagnetic radiation, atoms and ions; and paints integrated with classes of matter, specifically solutions.

This book integrates chemistry and art with hands-on activities and fascinating demonstrations that enable students to see and understand how the science of chemistry is involved in the creation of art. It investigates such topics as colour integrated with electromagnetic radiation, atoms and ions; paints integrated with classes of matter, specifically solutions; three-dimensional works of art integrated with organic chemistry; photography integrated with chemical equilibrium; art forgeries integrated with qualitative analysis, and more. This is a complete and sequential introduction to general chemistry and introductory art topics at a secondary school level. In this newly revised edition, the author, a retired chemistry teacher, gives extensive and in-depth new explanations for the experiments and demonstrations as well as expanded safety instructions to ensure student safety.
