Last Thursday, Teen Lab visited SAIC for a tour. I found the tour very interesting an my eyes certainly "glazed over" many of the materials and facilities available for students to use. We first visited the Ceramics department. I was interested that chemistry was involved in mixing glazes for ceramic students to use. Things like volcanic ashes could be experimented with.
We also visited the Photography department next. There were dark rooms for developing photos, the traditional analog way. There were also high tech machines for digital as well as negatives too. I enjoyed the fact that we saw what a studio for painting students looked like. There were electric lights as well as a open window, so students could contrast how their artwork looked in artificial light versus natural light. We ended our tour with a visit to a student gallery.
