Episode 179: The Intersection of Science and Art
In this digital age, STEAM-powered thinking is more relevant than ever. The different disciplines intersect in many interesting and surprising ways! However, it can be a challenge to find projects to showcase this or fellow educators who are willing to collaborate. That’s why in this episode, The Creativity Department is talking to Professor of Research Laura Conner and Perrin Teal Sullivan, Advisor on Integration of Art and Science from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Together, Laura and Perrin work to prove just how closely art and science align. Listen in and learn how the elements of art reflect the scientific principles, how educators can collaborate to create innovative projects for students, and more.
