Art Students Prepare for Spencer Finch Visit

In preparation for Spencer Finch's visit in the spring 2009 semester, students in a variety of classes in the art department produced their own art work on themes of "micro/macro" and the color wheel, themes that form the core of Finch's installations during A Day of Science and Art in the Center for Natural Sciences on April 2. This gallery documents how students in Susan Weisend's Lithography class prepared their work by observing on the micro level (slides of plant cells viewed through microscopes) and on the macro level (plants growing in the CNS Greenhouse).
