Schedule
Class Meetings: Monday 2.30-3.20pm,
Default Location: 312, David Kinley Hall
Office hours: By appointment
Class Format: Generally each class will involve focusing on one or more scientific concept and genre of art and studying how concepts are depicted by these genres. Topics include the cosmos, waves, and quantum physics; theater, visual arts, music, and design. The format of the class will typically involve a presentation by the instructor and any student who so desires, dialog, short student presentations on some days (dispersed throughout the semester), and formulation of projects. Some classes will involve field trips and others will have guest presenters from physics, theater, dance, and other disciplines. Some classes will also be dedicated to production and presentation of projects.
