Description
This workshop explores how chemistry drives this creative process. We’ll examine how pigments, polymers, and additives interact to affect surface tension, viscosity, and flow, producing the fascinating patterns seen in paint pours. Through hands-on experiments, you’ll observe chemical reactions in action and learn how understanding molecular behavior deepens both scientific knowledge and creative expression, revealing the powerful connection between chemistry and art. You’ll leave with a deeper appreciation of how science shapes what we see and create.
