Multidisciplinary Laboratory Exercises for a Color Science Course

跨学科（99）正在为现有的多学科色彩科学课程创建实验室练习。来自物理、化学、心理学、照明、设计和平面艺术的教师正在合作开发课程材料。此外，附近正在开设类似课程的时装技术学院的一名教员正在合作开发新的实验室材料，并修改该学院已经使用的三种练习。学生们将从多个角度体验色彩科学，包括色彩感知心理学、剧院的灯光和布景设计、艺术颜料的制备和应用、色彩的数字存储和印刷、理解光和能量背后的科学概念、光与物质的相互作用以及与颜料相关的化学。跨学科的方法正在增强学生对科学概念的理解，并扩大他们对这些概念在艺术中的应用的欣赏。

Interdisciplinary (99) Laboratory exercises for an existing multidisciplinary color science course are being created. Faculty members from physics, chemistry, psychology lighting, design and graphic art are collaborating to develop the course materials. Additionally, a faculty member at the nearby Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) where a similar course is being instituted is cooperating in the development of the new laboratory materials and the adaptation of three exercises already being used at FIT. Students are experiencing color science from many perspectives including the psychology of color perception, lighting and set design for theatre, paint preparation and application for art, digital storage of and printing of color, the scientific concepts behind the understanding of light and energy, the interaction of light with matter and the chemistry associated with pigments. The interdisciplinary approach is enhancing student understanding of scientific concepts and broadening their appreciation of the application of these concepts to the arts.
