Unbeaten Paths: Crosslinking Majors and the Arts, Revitalizing a Renaissance View

Traditionally art and the sciences have been treated as separate disciplines, but both are systems of understanding and describing the world around us. By studying them together, new possibilities emerge. This course takes a holistic and renaissance view that encourages students to find a creative practice inspired by the concepts and scope of their area of concentration. The approach is interdisciplinary, experimental, and pragmatic, and will facilitate the completion of an interdisciplinary project over the course of the semester while becoming familiar with contemporary research-based work and discourse around STEAM education and practice.
