DBS Science and Art Collaboration

Mr Neville added “My thanks go to the Art and Design team for their energy and creativity.  The Science staff were very keen that our new labs not only provide an environment that supports the very highest levels of science education, but also inspires and makes students feel comfortable and calm.  Labs by design will often be very sterile environments but the science classroom must be warm and thought provoking.  It is also very important to us that students embrace the natural relationships that exist between school subjects,  Everywhere you look in Science, there is Art.  Now we have colourful evidence of this in our DBS labs”

Mae Jemison, the American Engineer, Physician and former NASA Astronaut, who we recently discussed during Black History Month, said this on Art and Science;

 

“Sciences provide an understanding of a universal experience, Arts are a universal understanding of a personal experience… they are both a part of us and a manifestation of the same thing… the arts and sciences are avatars of human creativity”

 

As the first African-American woman to travel into Space, I think she is someone to listen to!
