Each of these ideas are a standard part of any art foundation course but few students realise that they're studying Science. Indeed many scientists would disagree with some of the concepts that are taught but, rather than trying to point out where artists have got it 'wrong', this show argues that artists have a deep understanding of human perception and tries understand what lessons science can learn from art.

By using numerous demonstrations we will look at a number of classic pieces of art theory and see what it can tell us about how human perception has evolved and how art is a science in its own right.
