Students will improve their understanding of a healthy soil ecosystem by following along in a step-by-step drawing of the inner workings of the ecosystem. 

As an artist, the awe inspiring beauty of nature has kept me curiously researching and drawing the inner-workings of Earth's magnificent creations. My love for drawing science illustrations really bloomed during Botany class at the University of Oregon, as we sketched the forests floor. With the delicate webs, and life cycles, in which all is connected, breaking down due to pollution, destruction of habitats, and earth changes, I will do my best to inform others of the importance of these fascinating life cycles, as we use our artistic eye to take a closer look at how these systems rely on one another, and what we can do to preserve them. 

Teacher will share screen of a short presentation about drawing techniques, and information about soil ecosystems.
