  3. Pyrognomic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrognomic

    Pyrognomic materials are said to become visibly incandescent at relatively low temperatures.In practice, virtually all solid or liquid substances start to visibly incandesce around 798 K (525 °C; 977 °F), with a mildly dull red color, whether or not a chemical reaction takes place that produces light as a result of an exothermic process.

  4. Luminous flame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_flame

    Like the incandescent soot in a luminous flame, the mantle is heated and then glows. The flame does not provide much light itself, and so a more heat-efficient non-luminous flame is preferred. Unlike simple soot, a mantle uses rare-earth elements to provide a bright white glow; the colour of the glow comes from the spectral lines of these ...

  5. Candoluminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candoluminescence

    Candoluminescence is the light given off by certain materials at elevated temperatures (usually when exposed to a flame) that has an intensity at some wavelengths which can, through chemical action in flames, be higher than the blackbody emission expected from incandescence at the same temperature. [1]

  6. Elements of art - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elements_of_art

    Mark making is the interaction between the artist and the materials they are using. [1] It provides the viewer of the work with an image of what the artist had done to create the mark, reliving what the artist had done at the time. [1] Materiality is the choice of materials used and how it impacts the work of art and how the viewer perceives it ...

  7. Gas mantle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_mantle

    [5] [6] However, the radioactivity is a major concern for people involved with the manufacture of mantles and an issue with contamination of soil around some former factory sites. [7] One potential cause for concern is that particles from thorium gas mantles "fall out" over time and get into the air, where they may be ingested in food or drink.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Work_of_Art_in_the_Age...

    Benjamin presents the thematic bases for a theory of art by quoting the essay "The Conquest of Ubiquity" (1928), by Paul Valéry, to establish how works of art created and developed in past eras are different from contemporary works of art; that the understanding and treatment of art and of artistic technique must progressively develop in order to understand a work of art in the context of the ...
