Conclusion
In a minimum half page of writing, using the information you just researched, respond to the question: “How does art depend on chemistry?”
When paint was first created, people had to mix or crush something to get a color and with the color make it liquid with spit or animal fat. The very first bit of chemistry ever, people learning how to mix colors and liquids. It has been the same ever since, but becoming less and less primitive / dangerous over the years. It has gotten safer due to the fact the people now know that tasting paint it obviously not a good idea. Also with the invention of acrylic paint people are now more likely to wear masks when they paint. It has become more advanced because, we now don’t have to mix paint with our hands of the course of 4 hours to make one color. We have machines to do it for us in 1 minute. We also know many many more colors which makes creating a color much easier / faster. The only reason so many artists were able to create their pieces was because someone in year one of earth’s existence decided to take some of the charcoal from their fire and put it on the wall. Since then humans have continued to experiment and research to make new colors. All of it was because of one idea.
