About This Event

Images capture our attention. Science communication is benefited by vibrant artwork which makes the message memorable. In education, the physical act of drawing improves learning. Content creators use visuals to develop and refine ideas. Yet not all visuals provide equal benefit. Dr. Jennifer Landin teaches a course in Biological Illustration, researches the use of drawing in the classroom, and analyzes the impact of imagery on viewers’ conceptions. We’ll gather to consider and discuss the many design choices that affect information conveyed by imagery.
