Using Art to Communicate Science

Art has the power to communicate knowledge in unique ways.

Art becomes a uniquely articulate lens with the power to express that alpine glaciers—which provide much of the world with water—are disappearing, that marine animals in the Arctic and Antarctic are quickly losing their habitats, and that deforestation is wiping out species of plants and animals.

Art can do so much wonder when it merges with Science.

This special edition of the minicourse will go on for 15 days and is packed with a lot of depth and insights about kinds of art, institutions and organizations where artists can pursue their careers, case studies of famous Science-artists of India and abroad, and also networking places where you can meet and greet the Sci-Artists.
