Natural History of Color

Join us for a conversation on the history of color, how pigments have been made in the past, and how color is used around the world and across cultures. CalBaptist University (CBU) Assistant Professor in the visual arts Kristi Lippire will discuss art historical and global perspectives on color and guide visitors in an exploration of ancient and contemporary materials. What does Realgar and Orpiment look like—or cochineal beetles both in beetle form and their powdered pigment? Come find out!

This is in conjunction with Elements of Art: Color.
