Juxtaposes art and science as inquiring and creative pursuits. Exchanging knowledge of the materials and processes used in their creative endeavors, students collaborate on three innovative projects that focus on perceived relationships between science and art. Visiting professionals, at work in studios and labs, provide insight into thinking and doing through and across the disciplines of art and science. SOA 3040 is designed for students who wish to pursue in greater depth the issues exemplified in SOA 2040, and is offered as VIS 3120 for visual arts majors.
