Why Some of Van Gogh’s Paintings are Fading
Recently, some of yellows in Van Gogh’s paintings have turned to brown. Chemists using X-Ray machines discovered that a chemical is the root cause of the discoloration. They discovered the problem was two fold. First, Van Gogh added white to his yellow paint to create the bright lemon colored yellow that characterised many of his paintings. Second, the type of paint he used is contributing to the browning of the yellow. Back then, many artists used these lead-chromate paints. The Chemists actually obtained some of this old paint from a museum and they found that when they added white to the yellow and subjected it to ultra violet rays, the yellow paint quickly turned brown.
Support Art Education
Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic. We were all taught these are the main learning essentials. It’s true, they are very important. However, art and music are also. It’s a proven fact that children that receive art education have a more creative approach to other subjects than other children that do not receive this type of education. In a recent study, children that listened to Mozart, scored higher on standarized tests than children who did not?
Sadly, whenever it’s time for budget cuts, Art and Music is often the first to go. I can remember back in elementary school, we only had art and music classes once every two weeks. Later on I found out that we were actually sharing them with four other schools in the same county. I valued the art and music lessons that I received, but I wonder how much more could I have learned had it been a regular part of the curriculum?
