Multidisciplinary Laboratory Exercises for a Color Science Course

正在为现有的多学科色彩科学课程创建跨学科(99)实验室练习。来自物理、化学、心理照明、设计和图形艺术的教职员工正在合作开发课程材料。此外，附近时尚技术学院(FIT)的一名教员正在合作开发新的实验室材料，并对FIT已经使用的三种练习进行改编。FIT正在开设类似的课程。学生们正在从多个角度体验色彩科学，包括色彩感知的心理学，剧院的照明和布景设计，艺术的油漆准备和应用，颜色的数字存储和打印，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。跨学科的方法是加强学生对科学概念的理解，并扩大他们对将这些概念应用于艺术的欣赏。

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.
