Event #3
SCHOOL OF ARTS AND ENTERPRISE
For our last event my classmate and I visited The School of Arts located in Pomona, CA. I felt it was necessary this place because it is dedicated for mainly for arts. Since we have been talking about the separation of art and science we thought this place would be a great example. The art they have set up is part of a public charter high school that dedicates itself to the arts.
My goal during this visit was to attempt to point out how in reality science had a big role in this school of arts. However, it was extremely difficult for me. All we saw were paintings which really didn't relate to science at all.
Students who attend this charter school have various talents whether its painting, singing, dancing, designing. Although we weren't able to make too much of a connection with the paintings I'm sure the majority of the students there are involved with science without even being aware of it due to the fact that their school is called "The School of Arts". I feel this school is an example of education attempting to make separations between the arts and science rather than having it voluntarily work together.

These were two of the paintings we first encountered. At first I made no connections but I began to think that maybe the science in this were the tools that were created in order for these performers to to perform in a circus. Its actually more like 'inventions' to me. That was the closest connection I was able to make.
My classmate Rebeca and I kept trying and trying to connect art and science at The School of Arts but it seemed impossible until we came to this beautiful painting. Quickly we connected it to Orlan who put herself through surgery many of times to change appearances. Orlan's entire face is formed from multiple inspirations which is why this picture reminded us of her.
We came to a conclusion that students who attend this school probably never attempt to make connections with art and science. Their main and only focus is art. They attend a school of only art which eliminates any of their thinking connected to science. It would be nice if students who attend The School of Arts incorporated science into their paintings.

AMOCA MUSEUMAmerican Museum of Ceramic Arts
Out of all three places my classmate and I visited, this particular one was my favorite. This museum is located in my hometown Pomona, CA. It is dedicated for ceramic art and historic innovations in ceramic technology.
Just by reading the history behind AMOCA I have gained a better understanding of the connection with arts and sciences. "Ceramic technology" is a perfect example. Ceramic is art which includes beautiful pottery and well technology is scientific. It has already became obvious to me that all of the beautiful art I had the honor to see at this museum would have never been possible if technology wasn't used.
One of the first things my classmate and I noticed was this masterpiece by the entrance that said Race To The Finish. This was probably one of our favorites because to the left there was a computer keyboard that showed the scientific part and to the right the keyboard showed the artistic part.Observing the museum, we noticed the art but as we looked around and started noticing the little details we also saw the science.
As we read the words of the artist we noticed they wrote in scientific ways. Their long paragraphs would explain the process of making their ceramics. They included details such as the temperatures of the technology to the geometric shapes. My classmate and I found it entertaining that this artist probably had no idea they were talking more in scientific than artistic terms.
Overall, I had an amazing experience at AMOCA museum. I would highly recommend this museum to anyone. We had the chance to go into a room they have that has beautiful ceramics for sale. We were so shocked to see the prices go as high as 10,000 dollars for one product. Without the ceramic technology, artist would not have been able to create such beauty. I truly hope that these artist appreciate the sciences because they will always be part of one another.

EVENT #1
RUTH CHANDLER WILLIAMSON GALLERY
This museum is one closer to my home in Claremont California. Unfortunately, the museum was partially under construction so I didn't have the opportunity to see the lovely ceramics they usually have. A classmate and I got to take pictures of the paintings they did have up but I did some research on some of the beautiful art they usually have up. This is me to the left next to a poster advertisement they had.
As my classmate and I first started looking around in the museum we became extremely confused because we could not figure out how this place related to both art and science. We saw the art but we weren't noticing the science. However, little by little we began to make more and more connections that we would have never really thought of if we hadn't had the opportunity to be in this class.
The first thing I ran into that helped me make a connection was this book to the right. There I was ready to give up on trying to make a connection when suddenly I ran into this book they had on display. Towards the bottom of the book I read "Intersections of Art and Science". I became surprised to actually find this in there. I did more research behind it and i found out that this particular museum was having an exhibition on this.
" This exhibition features works by six artists who create imaginative spaces that take their point of departure from scientific phenomena at extreme scales, both vastly huge or vanishingly small. In light of the recent decoding of the human genome and the many implications of this breakthrough, this exhibition’s scientific focus is particularly compelling."
-I found this on their site and felt it was more scientific rather than related to art. Again, I was shocked.
My classmate also made other wonderful connections in this museum related to art and science. For example, she had taken a picture of a painting of the industrial era which had a railroad painted as well and quickly she made the connection with technology advances. This painting was the art of what made possible the US expansion.
Overall, our experience in this museum located in the Scripps College was a pleasant one. I wish I would have actually visited the museum during the time that it was completely set up but regardless I still got good things out of what I saw.
