This new exhibit and website highlighting the Scientific Illustration class was designed with the scientist in mind. This is not a fine arts class. Instead the focus is on training those with little to no art background to be able to render accurate illustrations of scientific subject matter. All of the artists are pursuing degrees in museum studies or in one of the science disciplines. For more information, contact: Dr. Dena M. Smith, Curator of Invertebrate Paleontology.
