Only Connect Chemistry & Art

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

Only Connect Chemistry and Art is a course that integrates human experiences by exploring the intersection of art and chemistry. In this course, we will explore how these two disciplines are connected and discover how the ways of knowing practiced in each of these fields have much in common. In many ways, art and chemistry enrich each other and, at a deeper level, have a common approach to inquiry. Art and science involve observation, experimentation, and interpretation. They combine image and structure to communicate the complexity of ideas and find ways of knowing the world. At their heart, they both involve creative acts.
