Science is a beautiful Art

It just so happened that while we were visiting the Pittsburgh Glass Art studio, the show that was displayed in their show room were glass pieces inspired by Science.  The spark of inspiration for this particular show was the creation of models used to teach from sketches because in early science microscopes and images were not as tangible or easily accessed as they are today. Look at the pieces below it is very easy to conclude the inspiration behind each.

Assignment:

Look over the Learning Targets for this year ( should be glued in the front cover of you Science notebook).

You will create a model, piece of art, that would be helpful when studying a particular Learning Target of your choice.  This model will be displayed in our class art show at the end of the 9 weeks.

This Friday's class will serve as a clarification Q and A session. By Friday look over the Learning Targets and have an example that could be used to share with the class.  You will not have to use this example.

This assignment, as with all of the assignments from this Blog, will be completed outside of the classroom. Due dates and checkpoints will be discussed Friday.
