Purple perception 🟣
Students from Professor Lee Park's Chemistry 117 course (Roses are Red, Violets are Blue: The Origins, Perception, and Impact of Color) visited @williamsartmuseum's Object Lab last week. (More photos on their account!)

Hi from inside @williamsartmuseum where a @williamscollege chemistry class visited #objectlab and the #tasvirkhana installation last week! Students in Professor Lee Park’s Chemistry 117: Roses are Red, Violets are Blue: The Origins, Perception, and Impact of Color are examining color’s physical and chemical origins, measurement, and scientific description. They’re discussing how pigments have been used in works of art at different times, and the characteristics that make certain pigments suitable for particular applications. The class explores color mixing, fading, and perception of color, for example, how juxtaposed colors and intensities in prints by Richard Anuszkiewicz and Jonathan Borofsky affect how the students perceive the appearance of purple.

Explore Object Lab Spring 2021 on our website to learn more about the objects on view and the courses studying them.

Today marks one year since Williams went fully remote in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. As a community, we adapted and came back together; we have persevered, created, learned, and grown.

We have also experienced tremendous loss. On Monday, the Chaplains’ Office will hold a vigil to mark the consequential changes our world and our community have undergone over the past year. Details will be shared via email.

Just hanging out…
The Geosciences department recently installed a velociraptor skeleton in Wachenheim 101, a student common space and computer lab within the North Science Center. Our new friend can be seen from Hoxsey Street, so make sure to say hello next time you walk by!

How sweet it is 🍁
A group of students recently joined Drew Jones, @hopkinsmemorialforest Manager, to tap maple trees. In a few weeks they will boil the sap down to delicious syrup.
