HBA 325 - Anatomical/Bio Illustration


This course is intended to develop skills and approaches to design, scientific visualization and illustration not specific to any particular academic background or intended career path. It encourages the development of analytical observational skills and better brain/eye/hand coordination, providing an opportunity to explore the specialist rendering techniques used in scientific illustration. It is open to students with either a science or art background. It includes a historical overview of medical, biological, archaeological, botanical, technical, geological, paleontological, and anatomical illustration, but the focus is on student projects. Grading is on an individual basis, rather than against absolute standards, and students are expected to show that their skills have improved during the course by providing evidence of their work in the form of sketchbooks, preparatory studies as well as more finished pieces.
