This article describes a cross-disciplinary course that bridges the disciplines of art and chemistry enabling students to use their imagination, creativity, and innovation to respond to environmental issues and concerns through art. The lab-based curriculum is designed so that teachers guide students on how chemical processes are used to make art materials in an environmentally friendly way.

Artists and scientists alike are focused on exploring the world through introspection, examination and experimentation. Collaboration provides multiple perspectives and methodologies leading to novel dialogue and expression. Combining scientific exploration with creative expression offers unique opportunities for forming new knowledge and creativity. To tackle the intractable challenges of our society requires a language of cross-disciplinarity interconnectedness. Relational Space provides a space for artistic expression and knowledge exchange focused on art in relation to knowledge able to promote transformational learning and a brighter future. Relational Space encourages communication and collaboration among artists, scientists, policy-makers and the community-at-large.  Our vision sees a more just and sustainable world, inspired by art and transformed through truth.
