Art in the Name of SCIENCE!

We encounter art every day, but did you know that art draws its inspirations from science? Students in this class will act as their own scientists, developing hypotheses and drawing conclusions through their artwork. Through the use of STEM activities, this session will provide our "scientist" the chance to create cool projects and explore the field of science and arts.
