Get to know more than 20 crucial art history innovators and experience how art meets science, from cave paintings to today's advanced tech - then discover their incredible techniques for yourself through 18 different art crafting activities! In Art Alive! with Science, award-winning author Mary Auld explores moments from art history that have expanded our understanding of the way things work, such as the beautiful balance of forces in kinetic sculpture, the interplay of light and shadow in painting and puppetry and how Op Art tricks our brains and plays with our senses.
