Take a peek at the artistic side of science in this virtual exhibit, featuring work by Eva Sutton, Alexis Rockman and Sidney Harris.
When Rosalind Franklin took the first x-ray photograph of crystalline DNA in 1952, genetics revealed its artistic side. More recently, and especially since the start of the Human Genome Project in 1990, artists are turning to "all things genetic" as a source of inspiration. Featured here are three examples of contemporary gene-art.
What do you think each artist was trying to communicate about genetic engineering?
What caught your eye and imagination in these examples of the gene art?
What do think about genetic engineering of livestock and other animals? How do you think the artist who created "The Farm" feels about genetic engineering?
What do you think about creating genetic hybrids, by swapping genes between organisms?
Academic standards correlations on Teachers' Domain use the Achievement Standards Network (ASN) database of state and national standards, provided to NSDL projects courtesy of JES & Co.
We assign reference terms to each statement within a standards document and to each media resource, and correlations are based upon matches of these terms for a given grade band. If a particular standards document of interest to you is not displayed yet, it most likely has not yet been processed by ASN or by Teachers' Domain. We will be adding social studies and arts correlations over the coming year, and also will be increasing the specificity of alignment.
