Scientific Illustration is an alternative class to the Art 1 elective and will meet the SOL's for Art 1 while using scientific material as a subject and source of inspiration. The basic elements of art and the principles of design will be studied. This course will specifically meet the needs of specialty program students and other students who indicate an interest in studying art through the lens of science. The course focuses on the development of artistic skills, understanding of creative techniques, aesthetics awareness, and historical and cultural knowledge. A cumulative portfolio of selected works of art will demonstrate the students' individual growth and reflect a broad range of techniques, media, and styles that reflect ethical practices.
