Science courses employ instructional strategies that are based on lecture, drill, and practice to help students memorize collections of facts and procedures of increasing complexity. These strategies emphasize the acquisition of knowledge through the development of logical-mathematical skills employed in problem solving and verbal-linguistic abilities to make sense of the concepts and jargon in the field. Due to its highly abstract character, these science courses deal with complex representations that require an understanding of the role of mental models. Learners need to develop their visual-spatial skills as a means of gradually acquiring visual literacy while grappling with the symbols and conventions displayed in the figures, diagrams, and charts in textbooks. The Art & Science Project started at Vanier College as part of the History of Science course in the liberal arts program and was later adapted for use in three core chemistry courses (General, Solution, and Organic Chemistry) in the science program. The project uses a cross-disciplinary integration between visual arts and the natural sciences to promote a deeper understanding of the role of models. The liberal arts students analyze the parallels between the evolution of modern scientific concepts and the art movements from the same historical periods. Science students create visual representations that portray core ideas and threshold concepts in the field. The goal is to portray these abstractions using visual arts as means of creating meaning through symbolic visual representations while developing new perceptions of visual forms.

这不是管道：将艺术融入科学课程

理科课程采用基于演讲，练习和练习的教学策略，以帮助学生记住事实和越来越复杂的程序。这些策略强调通过发展用于解决问题的逻辑数学技能和口头语言能力来理解知识，以理解该领域的概念和行话。由于其高度抽象的特征，这些科学课程处理需要理解心理模型作用的复杂表征。学习者需要发展自己的视觉空间技能，以逐步掌握视觉素养，同时还要掌握教科书中图形，图表和图表中显示的符号和约定。艺术 ＆科学计划始于Vanier学院，是通识教育计划中“科学史”课程的一部分，后来被改编为用于科学计划中的三门核心化学课程（“通用”，“溶液”和“有机化学”）。该项目利用视觉艺术与自然科学之间的跨学科整合来促进对模型角色的更深入理解。文科专业的学生分析了现代科学概念的演变与同一历史时期的艺术运动之间的相似之处。理科学生可以创建视觉表示，以描绘该领域的核心思想和门槛概念。目的是使用视觉艺术描绘这些抽象，作为通过符号视觉表示创造意义的手段，同时发展对视觉形式的新认识。
