Mary Johnson, director of Foundations in Alfred University's School of Art and Design, collaborated with Dr. Josh Thomas, assistant professor of astronomy and director of the Stull Observatory, and first-year Foundations students in the class "Looking to Understand." The students used magnifying glasses as well as sun spotter devices from the observatory to observe both small and large objects. They transformed these observations into illustrations, and later those drawings were manipulated in Photoshop to create a vinyl window installation in Harder Hall. During their visit to the observatory, students saw sunspots using a heliostat with Dr. Thomas and observed solar flares through an H-Alpha filter telescope demonstrated by Dr. David Toot, the observatory support scientist and retired physics professor. Students shown above using a sun spotter outside the Cohen Art Studio on Main Street are (clockwise from top): Max Martinez, Bri Nicoloff, Jamie Shannon, Kacey Lo, and Alex Diaz.
