Margo Apostolos

Sensual Science is a way of looking at the world, a thought process that merges scientific inquiry with artistic creation. An objective of this course is to foster the growth of creative thinking by providing alternative approaches to problem solving which integrate art and science.

The course will follow a lecture /discussion format. The lectures will provide a philosophical, historical, and sociological basis. That is, readings and discussions will vary from aesthetics to the philosophy of science; industrial design will frame a historical view; and relevant ideas in today's society will comprise the applications of creative thinking to current issues.
