Art for Future Scientists examines the connections between art and science. Whether your student is an eager future science major, a self-proclaimed “art-not-science” kid, or just ready for a new way of looking at both disciplines, this class offers an exploration of traditional art making through the lens of science.
The ability to pay careful attention to patterns, shapes and spatial relationships helps scientists properly observe and discover—key pillars of the scientific process. This class explores how art is used in various fields of science, whether to aid in analysis or education. Each 90 minute class features an art project they can keep, created with their new understanding of techniques and tools used in various fields of science, such as zoology, botany, microbiology, paleontology, astronomy, oceanography, and more.
This class is aimed at students at the middle school level, grades 6-8, or approximately 11-13 years old.
