The program aimed to foster a deeper understanding of the science behind
artistic materials and paint chemistry, encouraging participants to explore the
chemical composition of paints, such as acetone and varnish. It provides hands-
on experience by allowing participants to create their own paint mixtures and
experiment with altering paint properties. The goal was to connect art and
science, helping participants appreciate how chemistry impacts the performance
and durability of paints. By the end of the program, students had a greater
understanding of painting techniques, scientific principles, and the role
chemistry plays in art creation and preservation.
