Abstract
This activity was developed for National Chemistry Week, 2001 with the theme "Celebrating Chemistry and Art". In the activity students make egg tempera paint using household materials, much as artists have done for centuries. The technique is demonstrated in a QuickTime movie. Parts of 2-3 class periods are required to complete the activity. The online supplement can be used to extend the activity for several additional periods.
