56-2611HN Space, Time and the Arts: Honors

Space and Time are two of the most fundamental components of the architecture of the universe and both fascinate and intrigue scientists and artists alike. This course deals primarily with the different properties of space and time discovered and explained by scientists like Newton and Einstein. In parallel, the course also examines the many different ways by which artists understood, explored and expressed space and time in different media (Paintings, Literature, Dance, Music, and Film/Video etc.) Students are expected to either create an artifact that portrays some of the physics properties of space and/or time or complete a science assignment at the Art Institute of Chicago. This is an Honors class. In addition to other possible pre-requisites, students need a minimum G.P.A. of 3.50 or higher to enroll.
