Lindy Lee: the making of Ouroboros

Program

Launching for National Science Week, join our educators live from your classroom for a look at the role of science and engineering in the development of Lindy Lee's Ouroboros.

Highlighting the technology and collaborative practice behind the making of Ouroboros, students are supported to think creatively and apply teamwork and problem-solving skills when making a work of art.

View Ouroboros through three focus areas:

- How science knowledge shapes artmaking methods and practices,

- The importance of creative thinking in science, and

- The role of collaboration in both art and science
