c o u r s e d e s c r i p t i o n g a l l e r y NEW E-BOOK COURSE IDISC 1520 The Bay In Flux Rafael Attias, Eli Kintisch & Mikhail Mansion Writers and visual creatives are redefining the book using tablets and new forms of storytelling, interactivity, and visual display of concepts and data. The goal of this sixcredit, one term studio course is to create a web-based eBook for tablets that explores how the ecology of the Narragansett Bay is changing as the oceans warm and sour steadily. Students will engage with the relevant scientific information through close analysis of appropriate technical literature, interviews with working scientists or scientific presentations, and visits to research sites and laboratories. The collaborative process of building the ebook will involve: sketching a multi-faceted story arc using non-linear navigation methods; storyboarding visual concepts and user experience; illustration, typography, and graphic design; and creating multi-media content. The goal is a cohesive work, that enlivens, explores and contextualizes how Rhode Island’s gateway to the sea is changing. The students will come away with both a creative and technical understanding of how digital experiences are built for the iPad. Through a combination of research, fieldwork, and guest speakers, they will also gain the ability to synthesize and visually interpret scientific content. The class will storyboard the initial draft of the eBook, outlining its scope and determining its navigation paradigm. Students will then work in teams to research, design, and produce a section of the eBook. The project goal is to create a visually compelling, scientifically accurate, and educationally engaging experience for the end user.

c o u r s e d e s c r i p t i o n g a l l e r y IDISC 1513 The Art of Communicating Science Nick Jainschigg & Lucy Spelman This 6-credit course invites undergraduate and graduate students to improve their skills in communicating and illustrating science. The general topic is changing biodiversity—how humans impact plants, animals, and their environment. Examples will be presented from around the world, as well as from Rhode Island. Through a series of exercises, students will practice analyzing and interpreting scientific information in order to both understand and present it. The science content will be delivered through lectures, visits to research labs, and to a nearby nature sanctuary. The course is designed to introduce students to relevant scientific concepts and challenge them to use their art to make these ideas more concrete and meaningful. In some cases, the goal may be to educate; in others, it may be to raise awareness, stimulate debate, or entertain. Students will explore the use of different media, including 2-D, 3-D animated, and interactive modes. They will also target different audiences and venues, including: general interest or editorial publications, art for public spaces including galleries, educational and peer- to-peer science materials. Class work includes assigned reading, several minor projects, an exam, and a comprehensive final project. Students will choose a recent research study on the topic of human impacts on biodiversity for the subject of their final project, which is a written paper combined with original artwork designed for a public space or public interaction. The Departments of Illustration and History, Philosophy, and Social Sciences will teach the course collaboratively. Students must register for both LAEL 1513 and IDISC 1513.
