At the interface of art and science: Drawing class visits OSU Zoology

As part of the Drawing 2 class, Liz Roth and her class visited the Zoology Department's Collection of Vertebrates. In the process, students learned to use different materials, compare drawing actual objects and living organisms with drawing from photographs, how to develop ideas, work collaboratively, and work with installations. Also, the students have recreated their drawings on a wall sized scale at the Postal Plaza. The only time to view these installations is during the Postal Plaza reception Wednesday, October 19, from 7-9 pm. Please visit the OSU Collections Blog for more information. Also check ou the news coverage on the event on OSU's website.

Below some representative pieces or art by the students based on the Collection of Vertebrates and exhibitions of living animals in the Zoology department.
