Description

I was invited to teach a new course at MICA this spring, "Visual Physics," AKA Physics and Art. Despite not being an artist (though a musician), I jumped at the opportunity to teach artists some physics that would (ideally) inform their art. This talk will discuss content, labs, and projects with which my students are engaged. I hope that it also provides high school and college teachers ideas for marrying art and physics.
