Abstract
The development of a workshop using the language, techniques, and processes of visual art to introduce particle physics concepts is described. Innovative delivery methods committed to the interaction and collaboration of different specialist areas are utilised, which - in curriculum terms - encourages connections to be made between separate subjects to the benefit of both. Beyond enhancing understanding about the nature of the microcosm, this approach aims to stimulate a "creative curiosity" about the world.
