Scientific Illustration I (Fall) is a survey of the various black and white techniques and media that function to visually interpret scientific principles. The emphasis is on preparing illustrations for publication. In addition, “laboratory” activities involving scientifically significant taxa will provide an elementary working knowledge of specimen handling, systematics and scientific terminology.

Scientific Illustration II (Spring) is a continuation of S.I. I, and
emphasizes colored media.
