Workshop: Drawing as a Tool for Learning in the Biology/ Ecology Classroom, Lab, and Field

Instructors in biology, ecology, and environmental sciences often ask students to draw – from dissection or from a microscope in the lab, or in a nature journal in the field. There is a growing body of evidence that drawing increases observation skills, engages students who are visual learners, and reinforces science learning. However, biology instructors are rarely prepared to provide students with tools and techniques that help them with drawing assignments. This workshop will provide a set of practical tools for teaching fundamental drawing skills, tailored specifically to the college level biology classroom, lab, and field. The workshop will be presented in two parts: Drawing Fundamentals for Biology, and Nature Journaling in the Field. The workshop will conclude with a Q&A and discussion about applying these tips to participants’ specific needs and interests.
