A Biology Course for Art Majors: Developing an Eye for Science
Sinclair, Charles
Journal of College Science Teaching, v33 n2 p22-26 Nov 2003
The biology and art departments at the University of Indianapolis collaborated in creating a Biology for Artists course. It was first offered on a trial basis and was well received by students and the art faculty. This four-credit course consists of 2 hours of lecture and two 2-hour laboratory sessions per week, and it fulfills the university's general science requirement. The only prerequisite is being enrolled as an art major (in fine arts, graphic arts, art therapy, or art education). (Contains 3 figures.)
