CH 114 Chemistry in Art Lecture Hours: 3 Lab Hours: 3 Credits: 4
Introduction to chemistry designed specifically for the non-science student. Offers a broad, non-quantitative descriptive survey of scientific principles relevant to art and art-related topics such as light, color, pigments, dyes, solubility, acidity, oxidation, and polymers. Emphasizes an interdisciplinary perspective on chemistry.
Prerequisite: Placement into WR 115 (or higher), or completion of WR 090 (or higher) with a grade of C or better; or consent of instructor. Student Learning Outcomes:
- Apply scientific literacy to explain concepts in art.
- Relate chemistry principles to the production of artwork.
- Explain the role of chemicals used in artistic media.
Statewide General Education Outcomes:
- Gather, comprehend, and communicate scientific and technical information in order to explore ideas, models, and solutions and generate further questions.
- Apply scientific and technical modes of inquiry, individually, and collaboratively, to critically evaluate existing or alternative explanations, solve problems, and make evidence-based decisions in an ethical manner.
- Assess the strengths and weaknesses of scientific studies and critically examine the influence of scientific and technical knowledge on human society and the environment.
