In addition to the obvious way of moving around within this site (clicking on marked words to link you to another place) there are two other useful methods:
* Click on one of the chemistry topic tabs (blue to green on the right side) or one of the art topic tabs (red to yellow along the bottom). The Student Projects link is a good place to start to see what the students have done.
The Chemistry and Art course at Sewanee was developed in 1991-92 by John Bordley
and Janet Schrenk of the chemistry department and Pradip Malde of the fine arts
department under an NSF ILI grant, DUE-9153695. The course has been taught each
year since 1993.
The course was designed to meet the laboratory science requirement (two,
seventy-five minute lectures and an afternoon lab each week) for non-science
majors.
A primary idea from the beginning, as is evidenced by the design of the
Home Page, was to deal with some topics from art such that a chemist would
see a list of fundamental chemistry topics, with examples from the field
of art, while an artist would see a list of art fields, with explanations
of the underlying chemistry.
The site is definitely still under construction. In fact it will probably
always be under construction, as each time the course is taught students
will be able to add to the site.
The site went 'on-line' for the first time on 5 June 1997. Students in the
class that semester designed web pages for the pigments they studied and for
their final projects. Majors additions were made in the summer of 1998. Class
notes and laboratory assignments were added in 2001, 2002, 2004, and 2005.
Project reports are added each year.
The site was designed by Bo Zheng (See: Some Details about this Site) and me
during January 1997. The idea was to create the overall structure and design
and to provide templates for the students to use to add their contributions.
