Honors First Year Experience: Linked Courses

HONR 194C Mathematical Exploration in Art (Block 3)
HONR 194D Art Explorations in Mathematics (Block 4)

Mathematical Exploration in Art and Art Exploration in Mathematics

HONR 194C Mathematical Exploration in Art (Block 3) Mathematical Exploration in Art (Block 3) will focus on the mathematical study of shape, perspective and dimension. Special attention will be paid to the eye-mind interface and how the mind produces the illusion of three-dimensionality from two-dimensional images on the retinae.


HONR 194D Art Exploration in Mathematics(Block 4) Art Explorations in Mathematics (Block4) will focus on the use of mathematical techniques to investigate imagery and produce works of art. Special attention will be paid to the eye-mind interface and how the mind produces the illusion of higher dimensionality in art from two-dimensional objects.

Honors First Year Experience: Linked Courses
The subject matter in these two courses will be interrelated and each course will substitute for general education requirements in each field of study. The purpose of Honors First Year Experience is to foster extended collaboration among students engaged in the study of ideas that transcend specific disciplines. These courses will emphasize active involvement and project completion. First Year Honors Linked Courses are an excellent way to begin your undergraduate explorations of Experience One. Students must register for both classes, one after the other during Blocks 3 and 4.
