Introducing Particle Physics Concepts through Visual Art
Andrews, I.; Nikolopoulos, K.
Physics Education, v53 n5 Article 054001 Sep 2018
The development of a workshop using the language, techniques, and processes of visual art to introduce particle physics concepts is described. Innovative delivery methods committed to the interaction and collaboration of different specialist areas are utilised, which--in curriculum terms-- encourages connections to be made between separate subjects to the benefit of both. Beyond enhancing the understanding of the nature of the microcosm, this approach aims to stimulate a 'creative curiosity' about the world.
