<p> Histo-Art Project</p><p>Have you ever considered the relationship that exists between science and art? Have you ever looked at a picture and said “Hey – that reminds me of my favorite Monet or Picasso!”? Well, if you haven’t, then this project will help you view science in a new and exciting way!</p><p>Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary defines Impressionism as “the theory or practice in painting (especially among painters of the 1870s) of depicting the natural appearance of objects by means of dabs or strokes of primary colors in order to stimulate reflected light”. Artists of the impressionistic period include of Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Paul Cézanne.</p><p>This year Roach’s Anatomy class will host a Microscopic Impressionist Art Show to be held at the end of October during 6th period. The following describes your roles in our artistic showcase.</p><p>ART DUE DATE: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2008</p><p>1. Select a favorite tissue from those studied in class and/or from your textbook. Download and print an image of the tissue from the web. You will use this photo to create your own art piece based on impressionism theory. A good site to visit is: www.meddean.luc.edu/lumen/MedEd/Histo/frames/histo_frames.html. Be sure to include the website URL in your reference section.</p><p>2) You can use any medium—oil, watercolor, paper, canvas, or poster board. The project work is completed outside of class. Your artwork must be at least 8.5” x 11” in size.</p><p>3) You must title your work and type brief explanations of the kind of tissue depicted, characteristics of the tissue, location of the tissue, and how the tissue inspired your composition. The photo or printout must also accompany the artwork. </p><p>4) On the day of the art show we will display your pieces and accompanying information throughout the classroom. We will invite the art classes, administrators, and faculty from our school as well as your parents to attend the show. We will serve beverages and pastries, and at the end of the class period present prizes to the winners that are chosen by attendees. The judging criteria are based on creativity and how closely you incorporate the appearance of the tissue into your art. </p><p>References: John Reitnauer & Stephen Con Val Regional High School, </p>
