In this introductory course, students will learn fundamental illustration techniques using pencil, pen and ink, and watercolor, and will apply principles of communication to convey scientific information visually. In the first half of the course, students will practice with a variety of subjects (for example, botany, zoology, biomedical) through field work and in the studio. In the second half of the course, students will develop a scientific illustration project of their own design, drawing on inspiration from their science courses, past scientific experiences, or experiences from their own life.
