Free lecture at Honolulu Musuem of Art School Main Gallery: Limu color

Science and art converge at Hawaii Watercolor Society’s Chemistry of Water at the Honolulu Musuem of Art School Main Gallery. Free lecture.

About this Event

Dr. Celia Smith, PhD of the UH Botany Department shares about HOW and WHY light color and quantity change in the ocean has been a point fascination for her as a scientist. She shares how these features appear to have in part, led to development of different limu over the last 500 million years of plant evolution. This talk will present some examples of how ocean plants adapted to harvest different colors of light and what these features mean for healthy reefs in Hawaii.

If you ever wondered why some limu is green, red or brown, you will find the answer! Bring a photo of limu if you’ve ever wondered about it.

This talk, a part of a Tuesday lunch series hosted by the Hawaii Watercolor Society to complement their Chemistry of Water exhibition seeks to inspire lovers of science and art.

Free lecture at Honolulu Musuem of Art School Gallery: Exploring Estuaries

Science and art converge at Hawaii Watercolor Society’s Chemistry of Water at the Honolulu Musuem of Art School Main Gallery. Free lecture.

About this Event

Julianne Kalksma is an ocean engineering graduate student at the University of Hawaii with aspirations of protecting our coastal environment through science and storytelling.

She will present ” Exploring Estuaries” where we can better understand the environmental and cultural importance of our diverse and dynamic ecosystems, while growing an appreciation for the landscape that many times colors our canvases.

How we perceive information, and choose to tell ourselves and others stories about them to enhance understanding and connection to our environment are common challenges to both artist and scientist. Enjoy the exhibition of Hawaii Watercolor Society’s Open Juried Exhibition when you come to listen to Julianne’s presentation.

Ocean Color: Satelite Imaging

Free lecture at Honolulu Musuem of Art School Main Gallery.

Ocean color is a scientific term that refers to the color reflected by light down upon and through the ocean floor and reflects back up and can be captured and shown in imaging technology called spectrum imaging. These satelite photos from space are real time, actual recordings at a high level of detail and beauty showing natural and man made activity–such as ocean current and temperature, coral and algae blooms, chemical spills, and even the wakes of large ships passing through ocean current.

 

More mo’olelo at Honolulu Museum of Art School Main Gallery Nov 12, 13 and 19

Summer is over and everyone in Wahi Pana has been very busy! I’ve seen some of the beautiful artwork in other shows around the island, and our Wahi Pana artists have been busy in their communities. It is heartwarming to see the art spread out there.

Wahi Pana will continue as a blog and email newsletter. This channel will share mo’olelo about those of us who love art, who want to connect to wahi pana through shared stories.

Chemistry of Water, Hawaii Watercolor Society’s Open Juried Show features paintings selected by juror Paul Jackson, a nationally acclaimed watercolorist and teacher. The concept was to create a space where art and science meet in the same space. To spark dialogue between creatives and scientists about color and water. The exhibit is open through November 22. There are four lectures free to the public by scientists leading in their fields held in the gallery. For more information visit eventbrite.
