Description

In this ARTSEDGE lesson, students discuss the work of artist Cai Guo-Qiang within historical and cultural contexts. They examine the factors that an artist takes into consideration when creating performance-oriented works in public spaces. To gain an understanding of how a solid knowledge base in science could affect the outcome of artworks, students study the art of pyrotechnics, paying particular attention to the chemical elements required to create colors in fireworks displays.
