Last January (2013), several students participated in the Chemistry in Art class offered for the first time through the chemistry department at Whitworth University. Throughout the three and a half weeks students engaged in many small art projects that helped to demonstrate chemistry concepts learned in the lecture course. Below you will find a selection of student reflections about the art projects with examples of the work done in class.
