Natural History and Biological Art
Monday-Wednesday, July 8 – July 31
9:30- 1:00 PM
This course provides an introduction to visualizing and exploring the diversity of wildlife, habitats, and biological forms of plants and animals through art and direct observation in the field. Through careful examination, illustration, microscopy, and photography, participants will study and visualize anatomical, behavioral, and ecological similarities and differences between species. Participants will use various media but will focus on classical observation and drawing/painting techniques in the field. This course involves travel to various locales, field sites and The Harvard Museum of Natural History. View the blog from the 2012 course at http://naturalhistorybiologicalillustration.blogspot.com.
