  1. Panel Discussion on Interdisciplinary Team Teaching Dr. Lynn Bradley May 10, 2012

  2. The Dynamic Duo Lynn Bradley (Chemistry) Elizabeth Mackie (Art) FSP 141 – Chemistry of Art, Art of Chemistry (Fall 2010) FSP 141 – Photography, Metals and Dyes: The Chemistry of Creating Art (Fall 2011) Bradley

  3. Idea for the Course • NSF Workshop June 2009 (1 week), Millersville University “Chemistry in Art” • Both attended • Focus on art history and chemical topics Challenge: writing-intensive and integrate chemistry with fine arts Spent a year developing the course Bradley

  4. Year 1 – Fall 2010 • Shared a single section • 4 overall topics covered • 5 lab activities • Several assessments Need for Improvement: • Too many assessments • Not enough in-class writing, additional help required • Final project needed revision • More integrated approach • Hands-on activities key • Lack of literature Bradley

  5. Paper Making • Attracted a variety of students • Awareness of how chemistry and art relate • Excitement and personal experience to the course • Learned from each other Bradley

  6. Patina on Copper Bradley

  7. Patina on Copper Bradley

  8. FSP 141 – Fall 2010: Fiber Reactive Dyes Bradley

  9. Year 2 – Fall 2011 • Each had our own section • 4 to 3 topics • 3 hands-on activities • Added field trip to NY • Change in assessments (portfolios) • ARTStor and peer tutors added (Diane) • Objectives and assignments more clearly defined Bradley

  10. Indigo Dyeing and Fiber Reactive Dyes Bradley

  11. Indigo and Fiber Reactive Dyes Bradley

  12. Lessons Learned • Students need help with writing • Teach chemistry and art in context of topics • Less is more • Hands-on activities crucial to success • Time-intensive for instructors • Ideas to generate discussion Bradley

  13. Benefits of the Interdisciplinary Approach • Attracted a variety of students • Awareness of how chemistry and art relate • Excitement and personal experience to the course • Learned from each other • Students understand the value of other disciplines Bradley

  14. Future of the Course Exploring London Through the Eyes of Art and Chemistry Summer 2013 • AFA 203 – approved for Literary, Visual, and Performing Arts and Global • CHE 103 – approved for Natural Science and Global • Museums, field trips (Frogmore Mill, Henry Fox Talbot), sculpture gardens • Expanded art projects including a final “Map of London” Bradley
