Scientific Illustration: Where Art Meets Science

Outschool ongoing course video for learners. Most people consider science and art to be on opposite sides of the spectrum, but they often meet in a field called scientific illustration. Even if you have never heard of scientific illustration before, you have likely seen it in many places. Think about the science textbooks you used in school, magazines such as National Geographic, encyclopedias and the images and models at museum exhibits. In this weekly ongoing class I will be instructing learners on how to illustrate various specimens from different scientific fields such as biology (microbiology, botany, marine biology, and zoology), geology (mineralogy, paleontology) and archaeology, as well as astronomical objects and space exploration. Each class will begin with a short introduction into the subject we will be illustrating. We will find out what science and which scientists study it and what tools they use in the process. Following this, in the practical part of the class, I will be instructing learners in the step-by-step drawing of several of the most interesting or representative subject specimens/objects. We will be marking their positions on the page using light graphite pencil marks. This will ensure that the learners have enough space between their drawings so that they do not overlap. It will also allow them to have a well arranged final composition. We will then lightly sketch out the basic shapes that make up each specimen before completing the final outlines and shading. Depending on the class subject the illustrations will vary slightly in size and complexity so learners will have a page filled with 8 to 15 illustrations at the end of each class. Along the way, learners will get drawing tips, learn scientific facts and be encouraged to share their own about the subjects we are illustrating. They will be able to ask me questions or request clarifications for any part of the drawing process via microphone. Learners will also have the opportunity to show me their work during and at the end of class if they would like to receive feedback and tips on how to improve. As a final result, they will have a page full of scientific illustrations on that week's topic. No prior knowledge is required.
