Closing Thoughts

WOAH.

I feel like there is no better word to describe my feelings and experiences this last semester than "woah". When I found out I would be taking an all day friday class, I thought "woah", when I told friends I would be going to NASA every other week, they said "woah", when I realized just how rad and talented everyone in this class was, I said "woah".

It's very clear that no part of my brain functions to understand math or science, so I undoubtedly was worried about where the subject matter of this class would take me. No question, this was the best class I have ever and probably will ever take at Chapman. I was able to see and learn things that go WAY beyond that of a normal college class, and I made art with materials and concepts I had never explored before.  Cheesy, but I am so thankful for the opportunity to take this class, it gave me a totally different view on sciences, something I never thought I had any interest in, and frankly didn't care about. The reason why this class worked so well on an interdisciplinary level was that nothing of it was forced. We didn't sit there learning the equations that went into finding out the science behind black holes, but we physically touched pieces of a mars rover, or sat in a sound bath that completely took over our bodies. Science was approached in a creative way, a way that an art-centered mind was able to comprehend and thats why it worked so well.
