ENVS 18Natural History Illustration
Students gain proficiency in illustration media, and acquire training in the essential skills needed to create natural-history inspired illustrations. Students create illustrations and paintings by studying organisms in the Norris Center for Natural History collections, as well as those living on and around campus. Some experience in basic drawing and/or natural-history sketching is recommended.
- From the Instructor: This is a fast paced course, students will work extensively in their sketchbooks in graphite, pen and ink, and color media.
