Whole Brain Post
By: Keiley Munsterman
Well, as a Biology major it is often difficult to find times to embrace my right-brain and all its creativity because Biology is such a left-brained subject. However, in the Chemistry Lab I have been taking, somebody along the way decided that we needed to have at least one lab that was dedicated to creating something entirely unique. And from the decision, "Chemistry in Art" came to life. This lab asked that we draw out a design and through the use of chemicals and science, we etched out the design on a small brass pendant. The lab intended for us to use both the left and right sides of our brains, but being who I am I didn't put much thought into using my creativity and I ended up drawing a very basic and unimpressive image that took very little time to create. However, in doing so, I missed the point entirely! As I look back on that lab, I wish I would have tried more to utilize both sides of my brain rather than only use my left-brain to simply complete the lab. I had this wonderful opportunity to be diverse in my thinking, and I completely ignored it. What a shame!
