For my WRI1100 class, I developed a final project in which students found articles in the literature of chemistry analyzing the colors of artifacts. The students learn context for the artifacts from a historical overview of pigments, and for the instrumentation from demonstrations in class, finally synthesizing their own pigments in the lab and (literally) making paintings from those.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/spu.hosted.panopto.com\/Panopto\/Pages\/Embed.aspx?id=6f90d78d-f397-44d3-9c58-afe1015fd36b&#038;autoplay=false&#038;offerviewer=true&#038;showtitle=true&#038;showbrand=true&#038;captions=false&#038;interactivity=all\" height=\"405\" width=\"720\" style=\"border: 1px solid #464646;\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay\"><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>McFarland, Benjamin J. &#8220;Making Light Work: A First-Year Writing Course on Art, Colors, and Chemistry.&#8221; In Contextualizing Chemistry in Art&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":116,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-81","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-2023-scholarship-fair"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/scholars.spu.edu\/scholarshipfair\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/scholars.spu.edu\/scholarshipfair\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/scholars.spu.edu\/scholarshipfair\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scholars.spu.edu\/scholarshipfair\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scholars.spu.edu\/scholarshipfair\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=81"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/scholars.spu.edu\/scholarshipfair\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":297,"href":"https:\/\/scholars.spu.edu\/scholarshipfair\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81\/revisions\/297"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scholars.spu.edu\/scholarshipfair\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/116"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/scholars.spu.edu\/scholarshipfair\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=81"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scholars.spu.edu\/scholarshipfair\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=81"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scholars.spu.edu\/scholarshipfair\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=81"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
