The project brought junior and senior art and histology students together to examine
unique properties of various cells.
Art students visited histology labs for critical analysis of cell structure and function.
Histology students visited art studios for critical analysis of the visual traits
that make each cell identifiable and distinctive.
From this collaboration, histology students found the material more enjoyable, improved
understanding, and enhanced their visual memory skills. All important when tested.
Art students sharpened their critical analysis skills, practiced verbal description
of distinctive visual properties, and discovered that topics for creative research
and inquiry may come from courses outside their major. It improved each group's skills
in areas often considered opposite of their discipline.
