PERSPECTIVES IN CHEMISTRY

Topics course. In this museum-based course, chemistry will be discussed in the context of art. We will focus on materials used by artists and how the chemistry of these materials influences their longevity. Current analytical methods as well as preservation and conservation practices will be discussed with examples from the Smith College Museum of Art. Three hours of lecture, discussion and demonstrations. Class meetings will take place in the Museum. Enrollment limited to 20.

SENIOR EXHIBITION WORKSHOP

This one-semester capstone course is required of senior and j-term junior Plan B majors. Students create work in media of their choice and develop the skills necessary for presenting a cohesive exhibition of their work at the end of their final semester, as required by the Plan B Major. Course material will include installation or distribution techniques for different media, curation of small exhibitions of each others' work, and development of critical discourse skills through reading, writing, and speaking assignments.

INTRODUCTORY PHYSICS I

The concepts and relations (force, energy, and momentum) describing physical interactions and the changes in motion they produce, along with applications to the physical and life sciences. Lab experiments, lectures, and problem solving activities are interwoven into each class. Discussion sections offer additional help with mathematics, data analysis, and problem solving. This course satisfies medical school and engineering requirements for an introductory physics I course with labs.
