When Science Meets Art

At NASA, our revolutionary "Science Meets Art" curriculum is divided into two parts - Painting and Sculpture.

The Science Meets Art Painting program introduces artwork from the Renaissance period through modern times. Students learn to appreciate such artworks through application of various art techniques. Activities such as paint analysis, perspective computing and geometric system studies are inspired by mathematics and chemistry principles. Students will realize that learning science can be FUN.

The Sculpture part of the program employs similar structure as the Painting program. Students will re-create miniature versions of sculptural works of famous artists. Activities such as modulus construction, static calculating and models building will inspire participants and enhance their understanding of fundamental math and physics principles.
