How it’s made
Ingredients: Water, latex (for adhesion), titanium dioxide, calcium carbonate, potassium, zinc (for mildew resistance), and whatever additives that particular paint needs.
· Water is pumped into a large mixing tank. Thickening and stabilizing agents are added to prevent the ingredients from settling to the bottom of the tank or can.
· One at a time, all ingredients except for latex are mixed in. Each ingredient has a specific mixing time. This step is critical for quality.
· This liquid is pumped to another large mixing tank that contains the latex. After four to six hours of blending, the paint is ready.
· The paint goes through a series of tests testing the thickness and how well the drying agents work.
· Latex is added and a colour test is performed to ensure the proper shade.
· Another test is done to see how well the paint covers a surface. This is where any other defects will be detected.
· Once the paint has passed all the tests the paint can continue on to packaging.
· Latex paint is 60% water which corrodes metal, so the tin cans are lined with an anti-rust coating.
· The cans run over a glue applicator, get labelled, get filled, and move on to the lid press.
How Paint used to be made
Cave paintings drawn with charcoal may have been made by early homo-sapiens as long as 40,000 years ago. Paint was made with the yolks from eggs which would allow the “paint” to harden and adhere to the surface it was applied to. Pigment was made from plants, sand and different soils. Back in these times, most paints used oil or water as a base.
Lead Paint
Lead pigment was specifically wanted for use in paint because of its durability. Lead paint adhered better to wood than any other paint known. Every other pa...

Chemical Formula
There isn’t a general formula for paint, because there are many types of paint. Paints are combinations of many substances and chemicals, such as pigments, solvents, additives, and binding elements. Some chemicals that can be found in paint are resin, calcium carbonate, mica, polyurethanes, and titanium oxide.

To start, paint is a substance used to both protect and add color to any given surface. Now don’t be fooled and think paint is made up of one thing, because in reality, paint is actually made from a mixture of substances which form a colloid. A colloid is a mixture of substances where the particles mix and disperse, but do not dissolve. These particles don’t dissolve because they all share a similar charge, whether it be positive or negative, that makes them constantly repel each other. In terms

I will show my steps in screen shots and explain how I made my bitmap logo in Paint. What Is a Bitmap Image? A bitmap is a collection of pixels (dots) that describes an image, in human terms, a complete picture. A bitmap can be of various bit depth and resolution. Basically, a bitmap

Carteaux Museum Paper Multiple important artist came out of the impressionism era, for example Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Berthe Morisot, ect. Each of these artist are well known and have made a huge impact on the world. They created artwork that was out of their time and really created an “impression”(pun intended). Out of all of the important artist of this time, two really stood out, they were Claude Monet and Berthe Morisot. Monet is one of the most remembered artist of this
but you don’t know how to create it, because you don’t know what makes something art. In my experience, art has many forms. It has different shapes and colors. For my painting class, I never knew what to paint. I can’t explain what art is, because art is such a big concept you can’t define. Many people see art differently. Something can be art to you, but to another, it’s just random lines, colors, and shapes everywhere on a canvas. At the start of my paint class, I had to paint something on a blank
Painting with Spray Paints Painting with spray paint can be an exciting and challenging technique to add to any artist’s repertoire. Spray paint comes in a number of formats, allowing the artist to select tight control or a spontaneous, loose flow of paint. Today’s spray systems are modern advancements on an old technique. Mouth atomizers have been used for many years, and the tools are still available. Technology has taken this to include airbrush systems and canned spray paints. All these tools
tools used are also transferring energy, converting electrical into kinetic energy - manifested as blown air - used to manipulate paint on canvas. My work is a physical transference of energy requiring the use of my entire body. There are many forms of energy from the kinetic energy of motion made when manipulating paint to the potential energy stored in all living things. There are four types of energy: chemical, electrical, mechanical, radiant energy (electromagnetic) all of which are used in my

The discovery of how to make and control fire made extracting metals form or more efficient instead of having to find almost pure nuggets of metal. In many civilizations copper was the metal they used but that was succeeded by bronze eventually it is made of copper and tin. Most all auto body work is done with relatively easy and simple traditional tools like body hammers and dollies
major arts the Egyptians made. Artists were a big part of the society. The invention of Ancient Egyptian art was one of Egypt’s biggest accomplishments. Art for the Egyptians were very important because most of the art they made were for their religion. Art was made mostly for their religion because they would paint pictures from the after- life or build exceptional pyramids that had to do with their religion. Art today was different from art back then. Back then art was made onto cave walls and gave

Artists have used this method for hundreds of years, and for the oil painter is the fastest method to use. The Bob Ross oil paints are specially formulated to meet the consistencies he prefers in the various colors on his palette. He also has a specific range of colors he uses. There are soft and firm versions of many of his colors. That is how important the liquidity is in his painting
Painting with Stencils Stenciling is an ancient craft, used since the Egyptians painted with stencils in the tombs of the pharaohs. Over the course of history, stenciling has fallen in and out of favor, and both peasants and kings have employed it to decorate walls, churches and furniture. Once again, it is a fashionable and stylish choice for adding personality and pizzazz to home décor, and craftsmen use it to embellish many decorative items. Artists also use stenciling, creating stylized motifs
into a wreck and the car will need a new paint job. The technology for painting cars has changed a lot over the years. Henry Ford said “You can have a car any color you want as long as it is black”. The color is the one biggest factor you use to select your car. In 1900, the first true vehicle painting was recorded. Back then it took most men about forty days to paint a car. In the 1930’s a dentist developed the spray gun using enamel paint which made painting easier. Henry Ford said “You can
the painting and the two blues lines near the top left corner. I believe he used this form because it is fairly common in Abstract Expressionism (Dempsey) to use line this way. I feel he is also trying to convey a mood by using this form of line because it adds a certain softness to the atmosphere surrounding it. I can identify mostly organic shapes in the work and don’t seem to find any geometric shapes. The drops of paint in the bottom left corner and at the top have no visible shape to them, neither
different painting methods that they use when painting pictures. There most well-known paintings are called “Number 1” and “The Starry Night”. The paintings give off emotion by how they look, but each one is painted in different ways. The public did not find their paintings wanting when they were made. The difference was how long it took for them to get recognized for their work. Lastly, the paintings gave different and similar reactions to people that have changed over the years of their existence
