Paint Density Project
Paint Density Project
Brief:
Paint density is a result of the ratio of pigment to water in acrylic paints. This allows for the unique phenomenon of acrylic pours, the different densities make for different patterns depending on what colors go to the bottom and which ones rise to the top. In this lab we will make our own acrylic paint pours and asses our final paintings by determining the most and least dense colors.
Result:
In class we are studying density, so to demonstrate a real world example we used paint. Different paints and pigments will have different densities, making some more visible than others. As you can see in my paint pour, the red and orange were the least dense because they are most seen on the top layer. Yellow and black have the medium density out of the colors because it can be seen throughout the painting, but not as much as red and orange. Lastly, the blue and purple were the most dense because they sank to the bottom, barely being visible at all.

ReARTions Exploration
ReARTions Exploration
In class today we experimented with thin copper sheets, and dived into oxidation. We held the sheets over a small flame to see how the material would react. Based on our observations we could conclude that oxidization had occured, as you can clearly see the different colors present. Before the reaction the sheet was one solid color. Red, yellow, blue, and purple can be seen on the burned sheet.
