Science-Art courses

We want to give information on science-art courses around the world. kkArtLab is one of the sites where you can learn about Bioptical art. This is a free course and started on experimental basis. If this succeeds - as artists find it too technical to follow and we are trying to simplify it - we will start courses in Biology and other science subject based art.
1. You can learn Bioptical art taught by Mr. Iliescu, who has more than fifty years of experience in the Bioptical art research, here:

They are seeking first rate candidates from diverse backgrounds (Academia, Private Industry, Non Governmental Organizations, Make and Hacker collectives) within the ATEC Arts and Technology PhD Program.

More info at:

http://www.utdallas.edu/admissions/graduate/degrees/detail.php?d=1641.

Roger Malina has been named Distinguished Chair of Arts and Technology and
Professor of Physics in the School Natural Sciences and Mathematics and will be supervising student research projects. Students with backgrounds in Science, Engineering or Arts and Humanities may enroll in the PhD.

Post graduate course in science -art:

4. MA in science art

Responding to fast-growing interest in interdisciplinary art practice, this pioneering course investigates the creative relationships between art and science and how to communicate them. With access to important collections in London you will explore the making and presentation of your work and pursue innovative outcomes in practice and research, towards professional engagement in art and science authorship and creative practice. MA Art and Science is part of our Postgraduate Art Programme – a dynamic new context for creative learning.

Art therapy is an emerging and dynamic field in the mental health profession that uses art media as its primary mode of communication, such as paint, chalk, crayons and sculpture. Art therapy is especially valuable for clients who have difficulties verbally expressing themselves. The University of Haifa is the only accredited academic institution in Israel to offer a graduate degree in this vital and growing field.
The Academic Program

The MA in Art Therapy is a year-long program, taught over three consecutive semesters in English. The program (MA Program in Art Therapy) includes academic coursework at the University in the fall and spring semesters. During the summer semester, students participate in a practicum and receive individual and group supervision. Upon completion of the program (MA Program in Art Therapy), students will earn a master of arts in Creative Arts Therapies with a specialization in Art Therapy.
General Admission Requirements

An undergraduate degree from a recognized university with a minimum final grade of 80% (Israeli system) or 3.0 GPA.
Competence in English (TOEFL scores - if native language is not English or candidates have not previously studied at an institution of higher education where the language of instruction is English).
Completion of prerequisite courses in developmental and abnormal psychology, physio-psychology, research methods and statistics.

Arts-Based Requirements Candidates must provide documented proof of training and practical experience in the relevant art form. Practical experience may include exhibitions, arts-based community work, and a portfolio of the applicant’s artwork. Please contact graduate@mail.uhaifa.org for details.

Geography course explores how the geosciences influence art

Early humans in France and Spain used bumps and crevasses in limestone caves to suggest a bison's haunch or the curve of a horse's neck. Two millennia later, Leonardo da Vinci depicted precise geological formations such as fault lines, sediment layers and bedrock.

Vatche Tchakerian, Geography professor and head of the department, investigates this connection between artist and landscape in his First-Year Seminar course, Earth Art: Geosciences and the Arts. "We explore how geography, geomorphology, geology and the environment are represented in the major art movements from prehistory to today," Tchakerian says. "We look at paintings, for example, to identify what kind of geosciences information can we identify. Are they accurate? What does the information convey to the viewer?"

In one exercise students trace the major landscape features in Giovanni Bellini's St. Francis in the Desert (1480–85) and identify features such as a cliff face, ravine, flood plain, weathering, sedimentary rocks, rock varnish, and other geomorphological elements.

"After taking the course, I want my students throughout their lives to go to museums, to look at paintings with a new perspective." And in turn he wants this course to train geosciences students to examine their environment with the insight of an artist's eye. "I want to help future scientists to become more perceptive, more aware of the details around them."

One of the highlights in art history has to be the late 18th and 19th centuries. The 'new' science of geology and Darwin's theories on the origin and evolution of life coincide in time with the landscape painters of Great Britain, he says. "Art reflected the amazing scientific discoveries at that time." The Hudson School in the United States also emerged, succeeded by the modern perspective of landscape found in the works of painters like Georgia O'Keefe and David Hockney and contemporary works like Robert Smithson's giant earthwork, Spiral Jetty.

"The link between geosciences and art constantly reflect each other," he says. Google Earth artists, for example, use satellite imagery to create landscape paintings that range from pictorial to expressionistic. "A famous example is Angry Tundra. The painting depicts the Siberian tundra melting and releasing methane gas, which is also evident in the real-time satellite image."

Imagine the “Impossible”

The Sci|Art NanoLab is a highly competitive summer program for high school students interested in collaborating with diverse and notable minds to challenge traditional, polarized perspectives of the arts and sciences. This program is open to high school students that are graduating seniors or will be juniors and seniors in the fall. Throughout the 2-week intensive program, students will make connections between cutting edge scientific research, popular culture and contemporary arts. Lab visits, workshops, hands-on experiments, and meetings with world renowned scientists will be balanced with visits to museums, daily movie screenings and meetings with famous contemporary artists who collaborate with scientists. A team of science and art graduate students will lead participants.

Throughout the two weeks, students will be developing presentations of group research projects in which they imagine the "impossible."

Sponsored by UCLA ART|SCI Center, Department of Design | Media Arts and the California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) , the Sci|Art Nanolab focuses on multi-disciplinary collaborations exploring the possibilities and implications of scientific and technological innovation. Running in parallel with the NanoSystems Chemistry and Engineering Research (NanoCER) program at CNSI and the Design | Media Arts Institute at the Broad Arts Center, Sci | Art NanoLab students will benefit from exposure and collaboration with art and science faculty and students participating in this program's team-based interdisciplinary nanoscience research. You can also view the Sci | Art NanoLab website.

Admission to the program is by instructor consent. As part of the application process, applicants will be asked to submit a 500-word essay. View the essay topics for more information about the essay process. Although not required, they strongly encourage students to submit a Letter of Recommendation from a teacher or counselor. Recommenders may submit their comments via email. Please remember that even after you have been approved, official enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis.
