Discovery involves looking closely at works of art or objects in nature to try to uncover some connections to our lives. In this image of close looking, what might be some scientific objects the students are studying?
Exploration joins concrete planning with dreaming. In this detail of Katherine Kuehn's multilayered image, the artist has combined the kind of photograph one might find in an antique photo album with architectural drawings and a sketch of "Venetian" blinds, covered over by a constellation chart of the night sky. For ancient travelers like the Venetians, maps and stories of the cosmos make it possible to "see" their way.
