Product Information

Art and science come together in this fascinating kit that uses the works of classic and modern artists to introduce students to practical applications for scientific observation and reasoning. Ideal for adding excitement to any art, chemistry, or general science class, this activity presents students with a "real" painting and a "forgery" in the styles of impressionist Claude Monet, post-impressionist Vincent Van Gogh, and abstractionist Jackson Pollack. Students use physical, chemical, and microscopic methods of analysis to determine which painting is original and which is the forgery. These methods include testing for lead in paint, checking for fluorescence under ultraviolet light, and analyzing color to determine if they are mixed or layered. Grades 6-12.
