Artists' Materials & Methods
at Bard College
This was actually a chemistry
class which focused on the science behind light and color, and its
relation to the properties of different kinds of pigments in various
artistic mediums. It was a fascinating class and very relevant to both
my artistic and scientific pursuits; also the labs were particularly
excellent, usually involving simply playing around with various
artistic media. One such experiment was our exploration of fresco and
it's chemical composition and preparation as well as proper techniques
for its use. It was actually one of the most difficult materials I've
ever worked with, and this is the result of my hard work in that lab.
