Supporting Science with Art

In this short session (starting around 16:45), Soheb, Kunal and Nikki will show how to use different forms of artwork to support and convey the story of your science. We will talk about the process of creating art and discuss different target audiences. With our examples, such as creating comic books about your PhD thesis, using watercolour videos in your talks, and creating 3D animations to visualise your physical models, we hope to inspire a lively discussion about how science can be supported by art! We encourage you to also bring examples of your own artwork.
