Sustainability | Art + Science Course Seeks Creative Solutions to Problems Posed by World Scientists

The Sustainability Studies theme is featuring a Spring 2016 course that combines art and science in search of creative solutions to the real-world problems of sustainability.

Leading scientists from around the world will pose these problems to students in person or on Skype.

ART 4900 Art + Science (Studio Art Topics) is offered Tuesday and Thursday from 1:30 to 4:20 p.m. in Spring 2016.

Sustainability Studies theme logoThis is a studio art course where students from disparate disciplines collaborate to create artistic propositions as solutions to real problems in the sciences of sustainability. Students’ artistic propositions will be exhibited at the Kennedy Museum of Art in late spring, and students will develop and execute workshops for the public at the museum in conjunction with the exhibit. This is a time-intensive course that requires a flexible schedule and immersive group work that may extend to evenings and weekends. For more information, contact John Sabraw, Professor of Painting, at sabraw@ohio.edu.

Sabraw has been widely written about in art, science and popular media for his impressive body of work utilizing painting pigments created with toxic mine runoff.
