4 credits (Fall or Spring)

Cross-listed as: SCI 237. This team-taught course will examine the physical properties of various artists’ materials and will use these materials to generate new creative work.

The class will be a combination of in-class discussion, laboratory, and studio practice; it will be a rare opportunity for students to learn from two inquiry-based disciplines in two different locations on campus.
