THE WESTMINSTER SCHOOLS
STEAM

Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics
STEAM is the integration of study in the areas of:
Challenge to Teachers
● Challenge to Teachers: Create a project that investigates the thinking between STEAM subject areas and engage your students in creatively demonstrating this knowledge to the school community in the form of visual display.
An Invitation
● To make this one of your hallmark projects, exploring new subjects, new materials, processes, and technology.
●
● Getting the most benefit from doing this as a collective, collaboratively.
WHERE?The STEAM group of teachers will work together to create a multi-department, multi-divisional themed show which will occupy all of Broyles Gallery.
Depending on the number of projects, other venues may also be utilized for the duration of the exhibit, and projects can be designed with a specific “satellite” venue in mind.
WHEN?The current goal for the STEAM exhibition is that it will take place late February, Early March. The exact exhibition schedule still needs to be set by the Art Department during Faculty Forum.
What is known is that teachers will have the entire Fall semester and beginning of Spring to plan and execute their projects.
HOW CAN I BE INVOLVED?Teachers may develop and exhibit a lesson: ● In collaboration with another STEAM
member.● On their own receiving feedback from the
group.● With an academic classroom, a homeroom,
an extracurricular student group, an independent study, or any other format.
● Or only offer feedback to the projects of others.
AFTER TODAY WHAT WILL WE DO?
In the Upper School, we will make use of non-departmental PLC times to continue meeting throughout the year.
During this time we will present ideas for lessons and display, getting feedback from the group.
INTERSECTION OF ART AND SCIENCE
● Science can inform the creation of Art. The better the understanding the richer/more nuanced the artwork.
● Art can be used to bring (clarify) scientific concepts to an audience (ie. students).
Intersection:Art & Science as Way of Thinking
● Observation
● Communication
● Fundamental notion of design
● Visual-spatial skills
● Learning, experimentation, feedback, refining
Intersection: Content● Biology: Visual perception/cognitive science
● Biology: Perception of beauty/evolution
● Physics: Perspective/Color/Light
● Chemistry: Color/materials/preservation
● Medicine: Synesthesia/medical outcomes
● Medical visualization/illustration
Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519)
Her Process: Bioluminescent Bacteria
Her Process: Protein Music
Biological Concepts
● Bacterial Growth
● Bioluminescence (ATP, cellular respiration)
● DNA Structure
● Protein Sequence/ amino acid structure
● Polar molecules/hydrophobic/hydrophilic

ART-What does it mean to incorporate ART into your lesson?
The use of traditional art materials: clay, paint, pencil, or photography alone does not ensure that you have integrated art into your curriculum!
Art is about thinking, and the expression of this thinking through visual form.Of course there are plenty of examples that do this with traditional artistic materials:

ART= MAKING THINKING VISIBLE
For our purposes it could be described as the question: How do we Make (Learning) Visible to our community in the form of creative display?
Students can be involved with figuring out this question, and this process itself will contribute to their learning.
There are many examples where an artwork can be created without traditional materials.

Anything Can be used to make art.

Artwork can require audience participation or be in the form of a performance
Whispering Gallery, Grand Central Station
Someone speaks into a corner, and due to the acoustics of the room can be heard, even at whispering volume only in the opposing corner of the large atrium.
Seems like a pretty good project for a Physics teacher (hint hint, that should be fairly easy to recreate following this simple diagram in Broyles Gallery ;)
Artwork can be in the form of Design, and be about creatively presenting information.
