The Science of Art: A Teen Art Class Exploring Science Through Creativity

Unleash your creativity while exploring the fascinating intersection of science and art! In this hands-on, 1.5 hour-long weekly class, students will dive into scientific principles and bring them to life through art. Each week features a different scientific concept with fun, engaging projects designed to spark curiosity and inspire creative expression. This class encourages the E in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics), highlighting how science and art go hand in hand to fuel innovation and creativity.

Course Overview:

Week 1: The Science of Crystals (Part 1) – Learn how crystals grow and create your own crystal-growing experiment! Observe and sketch shapes and fragments.
Week 2: The Science of Crystals (Part 2) – Explore the geometric shapes of crystals and create beautiful crystallized artwork with chalk pastels and watercolors.
