	Interdisciplinarity at its finest Interwhat? Sometimes "interdisciplinarity" is difficult to explain, but an on-campus event recently provides a classic example. The Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium presented scholarship awards to two art students for space-related artwork located permanently in the Consortium's offices in Suite 301 of the Environmental Sciences building. The student artists who created the award-winning pieces are Darci White, Green Bay, a senior studying art education and theater design, and Daniel Klewer, Muskego, a senior art major. Daniel Klewer's oil on canvas painting, "A Head Full of Space is Not Empty," is located in the lounge area of the Consortium's headquarters. Darci White's acrylic paint, pastel and ink piece, "Quantitative Advancements with Spirit and Opportunity," was installed in the hallway just outside the Consortium's offices. The winning works of art were selected from 15 proposals submitted in the Consortium-sponsored space art competition. White and Klewer each received $1,000 scholarships for their winning concepts. "These awards will allow us to harness the power of art to inspire and fire the imagination and support the work of a very different type of student at the same time. It's a wonderful interdisciplinary opportunity," said R. Aileen Yingst, director of the Space Grant Consortium. Yingst (far right) and Christine Style, art chair, flank the artists.
