Education institutions have been working diligently to include more, science, technology, engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) geared curriculum into their school systems. However, this leaves out the important category of art, which would transform the everpopular STEM into STEAM. This project aims to show children that art and science can work hand-in-hand. Using a Sensofar microscope, measurements of impasto artwork will be taken and a method detailing how to print these measurements will be determined. These Three-Dimensional prints will be used to design a touchable exhibit with interactive features that will engage children to learn about the study of Surface Metrology and how it can be applied to the impasto art style. This will provide them a fun and memorable example of science and art coming together in one museum exhibit.
