All,
Hi, we greatly enjoyed our first session together and sorry we did not have a bit more time to draw, but we will have other opportunities to draw throughout the term!
Here are the seminar resources found on our main site: https://blogs.uoregon.edu/aad199artmeetsscience/ (check the main home page for important announcements throughout the term).
Course Schedule: https://blogs.uoregon.edu/aad199artmeetsscience/course-schedule/
Important: Again in Week 8 there will be a required attendance for the OCT performance of Silent Sky, the show times have not been posted by OCT yet and once we have those we will announce the times. Note also that this week has a field trip on Thursday to OCT, Eugene downtown, to meet with the production group for the show, and as such Tuesday is an optional open work lab meeting time.
Please note on the Course Schedule we have provided different ways information will be posted:
1. A calendar with important dates,
2. A detailed “course schedule” of each day, and
3. A quick reference guide at the bottom of this Course Schedule page to specific Journal and Assignment Due Dates (just an outline, no instruction details).

Important: For Thursday here is what you need to work on:
- Purchase course reading packet from the UO Duckstore.
- Read Wilson’s chapter from Art + Science Now in the course packet (note: articles are printed alphabetically by author last name not by weekly order) and see #4 below for what you need to respond to in terms of your Journal writing.
- Acquire & bring a sketchbook/journal to all class sessions. You will submit many course assignments on your UO Blog site; however, it is important to have a hands-on journal available to you for sketching, note taking, and reflective writing as you prepare to finalize posts for the blog site.
- Write/Record Reading Response to Art + Science Now in your journal. Bring to class on Thursday, January 7th. This will be added to your student blog site later. (Journal #1)
Note: We also suggest bringing a camera and/or video recorder for all class sessions as part of developing your journals. Here are the questions to address for this reading:
- Three to four key words that best describe the main themes of the writing.
- One-sentence “purpose statement” describing the author’s main point/theme.
- Two to three points, ideas, arguments, phrases, etc. that you found confusing (and/or would like more information about).
- Five types of art, artists and/or science that you found most interesting.
Any questions? Please let us know!
Best,
Robert and Julie
