Since 1991 the speaker has taught a general education, lab science course to hundreds of non-science majors. The course, entitled The Molecular Basis of Color and Form: Chemistry In Art, addresses science concepts crucial to the preparation, use, and long-term care of artists' materials from metals, glass and ceramics to pigments, dyes, paints and photography. Developing directly as a result of the experience of teaching this course has been a series of workshops for chemistry and art faculty, first sponsored by the NSF Chautauqua program, then funded by an NSF-DUE grant, and currently under the auspices of the Center for Workshops in the Chemical Sciences (CWCS). Over 200 faculty members from chemistry, geology, biology, physical science and art have participated in a CWCS workshop in Chemistry and Art since 2002. The next workshop is scheduled to take place on the campus of Washington & Lee University in June of 2008. This presentation will provide an overview of both the course content of the speaker's general education course and the workshop as well as some of the broader lessons learned along the way.
