In this class, learners will explore the principals of scientific illustration, what it is, and how artists use science to create art. Each week we will be exploring unique marine creatures from a scientific point of view, then use our art skills to put our observations down on paper. Learners will explore how art can be used to explore biology, anatomy, astrology, or even earth sciences. The techniques and skills learned in this course can be carried over to any other drawing course, with a heavy emphasis on drawing fundamentals. This class will be focused primarily on art instruction and improving observational skills. Other skills will include techniques such as design, understanding light and shadow, color, construction of shapes, and line confidence. Class will begin with a brief round of introductions and time for students to share any art or projects they have been working on. After introductions we will jump straight into 10-15 minutes of direct instruction where the subject will be introduced and explored. During instructional time, there will be numerous opportunities for students to engage with content, ask questions, or share thoughts. After instruction, students will have the opportunity to apply what they've learned to create their own drawings. For this ongoing class we will be focusing in on marine biology and drawing cephalopods as a group (squid, octopus, nautilus). We will first observe the creatures we are trying to draw, then apply our observations to our drawings. I will be sharing slides and video content during instructional time, then when modeling drawing techniques, I will switch to photoshop where students can watch me draw in real-time. Throughout the class we will be drawing a variety of different marine animals.
Learning Goals
- Learners will understand how artists can use science to create art.
- Learners will apply what they have learned about scientific illustration to create their own drawings of animals we explore during class.
