Art and Science

So David and Andrew came into our classroom to do some filming, getting some interviews and film footage of our Globaloria classroom. One of the topics that was discussed was how this class is a correlation between an Art teacher (me) and a Science teacher (Mrs. Leef). TO me this is not an anomoly because if you really think about it Art is everywhere. It is in all of the surroundings around us each day, from the simple pencils we use to write with to the most complex of machines that make our lives much simpler (??) to the art that is produced for our viewing pleasure. With new technology comes new ways to express our artistic impulses. Art is not just about painting, drawing, and sculpture; it is also about light, motion, color and how we perceive our world and our place in it. Like to hear more?
