Art and chemistry are very closely intertwined. Sculptors, artists, and photographers all use chemicals to create their woks of art. The sculptor uses clay and other things to make sculptors. Depending on the material they use the chemical make up of that material allows them to chip or mold and things of that nature. Painters, and drawers use different drawing utensils which contain different chemicals to make the picture unique pencils use clay and graphite which is made from carbon. Paint is made with either water or oil, and then pigments which are chemicals. Crayons are made of wax which is made from the chemical petroleum. Chalk is made of calcium carbonate and limestone. In photography certain chemicals are sensitive to light so the amount of light that hits that chemical allows the photograph to be either darker or lighter. This relates to chemistry because it talks about all the chemicals and different chemicals that are used to make paintings sculptors and photographs. I never knew there was so much chemistry that went along with art!
