According to researchers "paint is a pigmented liquid that dries to form a protected solid film. It's 3 basic compenents are: Resin: That works like a glue, to bind it all together.
Pigment: Which gives the paint its color.
Solvent: To smooth out paint as it drys.
Pigments are always solid ground up minerals that are also mixed with complex chemical based organic pigments. The binder which is also known as Ressin, is made up from linseed oil and acrylic polymers. The solvent is made up of water or volital spirits."
What do you think lead to the most significant evolution in paint?
30,000 years ago in Southern France people would paint the walls inside their homes. Egyptians would paint and put symbolic images up on those walls. Today paint stores offer an unlimited amount of paint colors.
What is a painting? Is it important that a painting lasts for 500 years? 30,000Years? Why?
In the 15th Century Jan Van Eyek was the first to introduce oil painting. The Birth of Modern Chemistry, Fire of Revolution, and in the 19th cntury and the formation of electricity changed the view on painting and its competents. The electricity began fueling elements together which gave a wide variety of paint colors and options. The 19th century Impressonitists began to start painting pictures with people, buildings,etc. The paint had to be made to be able to sustain sun light, rain, ice, snow, gravel, etc. Without paint the world would be just a blank canvas.
Question for open discussion:
What event lead painters to paint everything they wanted to paint such as cars, homes, buildings, etc?
