Art 103 students are finding creative ways to bridge art and engineering

Jacob Binner is pushing that connection further through a research project https://ksuautomaton.weebly.com/ that merges artistic thinking with engineering principles, while in Art 103 we’re exploring the foundations of jewelry and metalsmithing.

From concept to craft, see how these disciplines intersect and expand what’s possible.
