Create light-based artworks in our SciArt tutorial

Science and art might seem like completely different fields, but that is not the case.

Every day, scientists use great creativity to come up with theories and consider alternatives as they explore the universe and all that lies within.

Thinking outside the box is a habit of both scientists and artists.

In this SciArt activity, Centre member Raghda Abdel Khaleq will show you how to combine science and art to make beautiful works like the ones she has created.

Children and adults will learn how to make their own SciArt pieces that show how the refraction of light can be used to make unique artworks.

We would love to see your artwork - take a photo and submit it to darkmatter-art@unimelb.edu.au
