I don’t mean to be rude, but I really like art history, and I have taken a lot of art history classes and the only way to learn the stuff is to read, or search the internet…. (which I did not have when I learned)
I did my own homework and you should do yours, not to mention the fact that I helped with the question in the post and you still didn’t pay attention. The Pigments were both, mineral (oxides are mineral)and organic (charcoal is organic. SO your answer to that question is wrong. GO STUDY, you aren’t paying enough attention to your reading.
its just hard….even my mom cant do it…so thats why im asking.
