The Conceptualization of Physics Theories Through Art Mediums

by Ross E Tedesco

The focus of this project was to create a new medium to describe basic principles of physics theories in order to spark creative learning in what is normally an algorithmic study. The medium consisted of a painting that illustrated the basic concepts of invisible forces within physics such as string theory, electromagnetic theory, and atomic theory. Artistic movements such as cubism and futurism were used as a source of reference in determining optimal painting techniques.
