Heather McCune Bruhn, associate teaching professor of art history, is sharing materials and leading activities related to her course, "Art History/Geoscience 107: Rocks, Minerals and the History of Art," in the Borland Project Space (BPS), through Nov. 7. BPS, located at 125 Borland, is open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, and showcases research in the Penn State College of Arts and Architecture.
Bruhn is leading hands-on activities each day from 1 to 4 p.m. Visitors can handle rocks and minerals and view 3D-printed models of ancient works of art and Egyptian faience objects recently made in a glass lab on campus. There are also stations for making paint from ochre pigment, drawing with charcoal, weaving on cardboard looms and learning about basic book-binding. A full schedule is posted outside the Borland Project Space.
