The materials that combine to give us great works of art have another story to tell. From the optical properties of the varnish, to the pigments that produces the vivid colors, I will lead you through a discussion on the different chemical properties of oil paintings. I spent last year watching paint dry, and I assure you, it is quite a fascinating endeavor!
About the speaker:
Allison McFleshman, Associate Professor of Chemistry Lawrence University, earned her Bachelor’s of Physics and PhD in Chemistry from the University of Oklahoma. Teaches classes in thermodynamics and quantum mechanics, as well as the chemistry of art. Research interests include studying fluid dynamics on a molecular level and investigating pigments from medieval manuscripts. She also co-owns McFleshamn’s Brewing Co with her husband.
