This summer I went to the Ann Arbor Art Fair and saw so many extraordinary science related artworks. A young lady from Ohio made enameled copper plates of magnified cells. My friend, who loves biology, was able to identify many of the cells. There were blood cells, muscle cells, double helix, and many more. Seeing this amazing art put an idea in my head which all came together on a visit to the Scrap Box in Ann Arbor. At the Scrap Box I found round white cardboard disks. One day I had fourth graders look through microscopes at magnified objects and then they drew what they saw onto the cardboard disks. When the disks were finished I glued them onto a paper to make one large art piece of smaller art works.
I love the results.
