In this descriptive article, research connecting art therapy and neuroscience has been collected and a workshop on Intuitive Painting has been described in detail. The connection was made by the author based on an article by Barker (2017), ‘4 Rituals to be more Happy,’ who writes a popular science blog. The rituals: gratefulness, expressing negative emotions, decision making and human touch were combined with Dr. Pinkie Feinstein’s method of Intuitive Painting in a small group setting. Although subjective, it would seem that at least for that moment in time, a small amount of happiness was achieved through combining art and science.","PeriodicalId":438783,"journal":{"name":"The STEAM Journal","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133142598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The grant sponsored annual Science-in-the-Studio which embedded scientists into the art and design studio curriculum, the creation of Mobile Units for Scientific Exploration (MUSE) and a new collection of science materials, equipment, and natural specimens, and a national symposium on integrating science into the art and design studio curriculum. Approximately 30 SitS classes have been offered since 2010, and the Exploring Science in the Studio symposium was convened at CCA in November 2015. Students played a large role in the research, prototyping, and design of the MUSE system which provides a new model for semi-permanent science classroom/lab/museum spaces in locations that lack the physical, financial, or curricular ability to have full or traditional science spaces. Author/Artist Bio Christine Metzger’s work as both a geologist and a textile artist explores how landscapes respond to climate change and how scientific data can be presented in traditional and untraditional ways. Her work is deeply anchored in both place and time and in a consciousness of the role humans play in the grand scheme of life on Earth. Since 2010, she has worked at California College of the Arts in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she teaches interdisciplinary courses like \"Bad Science at the Movies,\" an introductory geology class via the lens of Hollywood disaster movies, and \"Life on Earth through Time,” a history of four-billion years of life history that integrates illustration and other creative work with science.

We combine three divergent concepts, including creativity, hemisphere laterality, and critical state theory, to argue for a more balanced approach to learning as part of a modern meaning-centered education in STEAM. Reviewing the concept of hemisphere laterality, or how the two hemispheres of our brain have different (though not disconnected) ways of processing sensory information, we note how these two means of interpreting the world have become unbalanced in traditional modes of learning. We then discuss creativity as a mechanism that serves to balance the work of both hemispheres. Finally, critical state theory is introduced as an argument for why our brains need to exist in a more dynamically balanced state to function well in contemporary society.

Perreault","doi":"10.5642/STEAM.20170301.15","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5642/STEAM.20170301.15","url":null,"abstract":"My interest in this cross-over between art and science, specifically, the body and supportive technologies, has lead me to mixed media and installations where I can examine degeneration and a “new” generation using a combination of conventional and unconventional materials. Unlike re-generation, which is a return to an original state, “new” generation gives way to new arrangements. Author/Artist Bio Alice Marie Perreault was born, the middle of five children, in Rochester, New York. After high school, she took classes at Rochester Institute of Technology. From the recommendation of one of her professors, she transferred credits and relocated to Northern California where she studied at California College of Arts and was greatly influenced by Bay Area Figurative Painting. In her final semester, she was teaching art classes and working as an illustrator and graphic designer. She graduated with distinction and the equivalent of a triple major. After graduation, Perreault married and relocated to Chicago where she lived in Lincoln Park for a year before moving to Oceanside, California. There, she taught studio arts for Mira Costa and Palomar Colleges. When her husband accepted a jobrelocation to Salt Lake City, Perreault followed. Soon after, her older sister who lived with Down Syndrome, came under her permanent care. Perreault returned to school and earned an MFA from the University of Utah where she was granted the Gittins Fellowship award, the highest award the School of Arts gifts to one graduating student each year. Overlapping with this, Perreault worked as Curator of Education at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, known then as the Salt Lake Art Center and then was hired with the Utah Arts Council to work in the visual arts program. Following graduation, Perreault taught art at Weber State University, Westminster College, and the University of Utah. During the birth of her first child, the infant suffered a debilitating brain injury. The experience impacted Perreault’s studio work as she became intensely interested in neurology, stem cells and the mechanisms behind neuronal injury and plasticity. Her close-knit relationships with her son and her sister, who were both living with disabilities, gave rise to a non-profit art studio Perreault founded where she paired children living with disabilities with children living without disabilities. Through the studio, Perreault subcontracted artists working in various genres to work with participants and installed shows and presentations throughout the community. For this work, she was granted a Governor’s Award in the Arts. When her marriage ended, Perreault returned to California and entered Claremont Graduate University’s MFA program where her work expanded to include mixed media, sculpture and installation. She attributes CGU with providing necessary conversations that honed her artistic investigations. Perreault’s artwork has primarily been exhibited in the non-profit sector where, she feels it i","PeriodicalId":438783,"journal":{"name":"The STEAM Journal","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122363420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hermann","doi":"10.5642/STEAM.20170301.10","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5642/STEAM.20170301.10","url":null,"abstract":"Encouraging girls to participate in STEM is a hot topic that has captured the concern of the world’s academic, business and scientific communities. The intention is noble, however the strategies being deployed are reinforcing the very bias society seeks to eliminate. If we wish to advance our evolutionary journey as a species, a shift from “feeling sorry for disadvantaged girls” to “fearing STEM without girls’ reformation” is imperative. This piece discusses the rise to an initiative to redesign culture: Girlapproved. Author/Artist Bio Heidi Danglemaier is an inventor + designer + scientist. She is an expert at creating “Tipping Points” first to market innovations that become global and mass-market category leaders. Heidi’s products generated billions in revenues for the world’s biggest corporations. She has activated exponential growth in over 20 industries including the first video games for girls, the first enterprise social media software, financial tools, and retail design, to beauty products, denim, and even tampons. Her work has been celebrated by dozens of publications as wide reaching as New York Times, The Atlantic, Wired, Women’s Wear Daily to trade magazines IDSA , AIGA, ANA, IEEE, ARF, COMPUTER GAMING WORLD. Heidi has a BSc in Physics and a BSc in Computer Science from Western Washington University, an MSc in Artificial Intelligence from the University of British Columbia, and pursued her Phd in Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Physics at Princeton. Heidi left academia because of her deeply-felt mission to reinvent a future worthy of humanity. In 2005 she made a radical change and started an initiative to reinvent the future of consumerism called Girlapproved, electing to work exclusively work with young female artists. “Team Girl” proved to be most rational, competitive, selfoptimizing move Heidi could make. The beginning of 2018 will mark the end of a 12 years of empirical experiments exploring a new frontier of economic and cultural potential and growth, as well as the untapped intellectual and creative potential of females. Heidi and her teams of girls have achieved results that business and scientific believed impossible. Together, they discovered a universal algorithm for forecasting market tipping points. They also proved that “gut feelings” and “women’s intuition” can be measured and applied, reforming intelligence as we know it. Finally, they pioneered a generalized extension to the scientific method to include this new information opening a frontier of universal truths and laws of nature. Starting December 2017, Heidi is opening the door of Girlapproved and sharing this research with the public, activating a global challenge to the foundations science, economics and cultural design the first intelligence movement pioneered by females. www.linkedin.com/in/girlapproved Camilla Hermann has the best training education could offer.
