About This Exhibit
Close, careful observation is an essential skill for scientists – and for artists. Students in Landin’s Biological Illustration course learn about a different group of life forms each week. Then, during lab, each person selects one organism or concept to draw. Students examine specimens, identify structures, learn about functions and consolidate all that information into a visual product.
“Students don’t just learn information. They apply and explain it using new skills. They become experts in these concepts. I’ve had students find errors in textbooks and educational materials because the information provided didn’t match their observations. It’s an incredible learning tool.” Over the semester, students build a portfolio of their work on a diversity of organisms and biological concepts.
