Science and art are the legacy of any culture, and there is renewed interest in integrating the arts and sciences in higher education. At the University of Notre Dame, educators have designed a core curriculum course that explores the shared virtues, values, methods, and practices of art and chemistry. This course offers a unique learning experience as we draw from primary literature at the art-science interface, analyze works of art at the Raclin-Murphy Museum, and conduct chemistry experiments in the chemistry labs. By examining parallels in art and chemistry, we hope to develop critical analysis and innovative thinking and provide an understanding of the interconnectedness of these disciplines.
