Description

This work presents a didactic strategy for High School students, integrating Physics concepts like the electromagnetic spectrum and the photoelectric effect to analyze artworks. Students investigate noninvasive spectroscopic techniques to examine pigment composition and artwork history. Then the students create infographics to communicate their findings, use ultraviolet lamps to reveal hidden details in currency bills, demonstrating the electromagnetic spectrum's applications. Finally, they analyze artworks by Remedios Varo, discussing the properties of electromagnetic waves. These activities foster critical thinking and practical scientific inquiry, enhancing appreciation of both science and art preservation.
