This book provides an overview of representational drawing for biology students. Concepts covered include the importance of shapes and lines, values, value-color relationships, instructions for outlining, aids in judging proportion, and the use of drawing aids. Both two-dimensional and three-dimensional drawings are discussed.

In this workbook for students, there are 45 prompts that students use to illustrate biological concepts like protein synthesis, mitosis, photosynthesis and DNA replication. Having students draw concepts after being taught them reinforces what they have learned and internalizes it. Scientists like Aristotle, Agassiz, Van Leuuwenhoek, Haeckel ("Art Forms in Nature") and even Darwin have all demonstrated the importance of "drawing to learn science." With the advent of the STEAM curriculum (where the "A" is for Art), educators are finally seeing the importance of art and drawing in science education as well as in other curricular areas. Colorful student examples or teacher examples are included to help you guide them in the right direction. You will have many different, creative drawings from your students! They have so much pride in their creativity. You can have the students color the diagrams or allow black and white drawings. It is up to you! Have fun!

This black and white version of the original color version has the same 45 drawing prompts within plus student and/or teacher examples included. Your students will love drawing and learning at the same time and will remember what they learned so much better. The prompts cover main concepts in a year-long Biology class.

This book is designed to help biologists who must create their own illustrations and artists who are confronted with unfamiliar biological subjects. The author, an experienced biological illustrator, gives practical instructions and advice on the consideration of size and of printing processes, choice of materials, methods for saving time and labor, drawing techniques, lettering methods, and mounting and packing the finished illustrations. She explains how to produce clear and attractive charts, graphs, and maps, so essential to science publications. Though this primer does not cover photographic techniques, it does include advice on retouching, cropping, and mounting photographs and on using photographs of biological subjects as aids in drawing. This second edition is updated to reflect the many technological changes in art materials and printing processes that have occurred since the book's first publication, and it includes an entirely new chapter on planning, designing, and mounting the poster presentations that have become an essential part of conferences held by scientific societies. Also included are the requirements and conventions peculiar to biological illustration and a bibliography of useful reference works. "Every biology student who intends to write a thesis deserves to own this book, as does the biologist who intends to publish or work up some visual aids for his own use. There is no reason to limit the concepts of this handbook to the field of biology; it should be useful to other specific areas of science."—Evan Lindquist, American Biology Teacher (from a review of the first edition)

Model building can use drawing or sketching as a mechanism to help the drawer learn information (study), solve problems (model-based reasoning), and communicate. Unfortunately, many students fail to master drawing or sketching skills due to the effort and instruction required. Additionally, few longitudinal, real-world classroom studies have been conducted on the teaching of drawing to students. We applied guided practice of drawing or sketching to an undergraduate first-semester Introductory Biology majors course, aiming to assess (1) the patterns of growth and decline in the use of sketching and other active study methods over subsequent semesters, (2) the relationship between usage of sketching by students and performance, and (3) student motivations (self-efficacy, utility value, interest, and cost) and attitudes towards drawing and sketching as a learning tool. Students with instruction on drawing as a learning tool decreased their use of passive study methods during the course and increased their use of active methods. Major changes included less rereading in studying and more drawing or sketching. One semester after the course, these students maintained part of the gains in drawing and active study methods, using both significantly more than prior to the drawing intervention. Students without the instruction in drawing showed few changes during the two semesters. Higher proportions of study time spent drawing predicted higher overall course point total. Students with instruction on drawing reported higher self-efficacy towards drawing. However, only cost value predicted use of drawing during study time, suggesting that instructors interested in teaching drawing as a learning tool should aim to decrease perceived cost for the students. These outcomes will be reassessed yearly. Our preliminary conclusion is that a course in this format can support development of drawing or sketching for learning while developing more active study methods.

This book argues for the essential use of drawing as a tool for science teaching and learning. The authors are working in schools, universities, and continual science learning (CSL) settings around the world. They have written of their experiences using a variety of prompts to encourage people to take pen to paper and draw their thinking – sometimes direct observation and in other instances, their memories. The result is a collection of research and essays that offer theory, techniques, outcomes, and models for the reader. Young children have provided evidence of the perceptions that they have accumulated from families and the media before they reach classrooms. Secondary students describe their ideas of chemistry and physics. Teacher educators use drawings to consider the progress of their undergraduates’ understanding of science teaching and even their moral/ethical responses to teaching about climate change. Museum visitors have drawn their understanding of the physics of how exhibit sounds are transmitted. A physician explains how the history of drawing has been a critical tool to medical education and doctor-patient communications. Each chapter contains samples, insights, and where applicable, analysis techniques. The chapters in this book should be helpful to researchers and teachers alike, across the teaching and learning continuum. The sections are divided by the kinds of activities for which drawing has historically been used in science education: An instance of observation (Audubon, Linnaeus); A process (how plants grow over time, what happens when chemicals combine); Conceptions of what science is and who does it; Images of identity development in science teaching and learning.

Classroom and field activities offer the opportunity for hands-on exploration of life science and other subjects across the curriculum. Using drawing and writing skills, students record observations and experiences in a naturalist's notebook, which leads to further learning discoveries. The focus is on four areas of natural history: size and scale, predator-prey relationships, animal communications, and ecology. Emphasis is on interactions and interconnections in living systems and the effects of human activities on the health of the planet. Suitable for students in upper elementary-level classes.

Multiple reviews have called for authentic, course-based approaches to teaching students drawing methods they can apply for model-based reasoning. We applied a think-aloud protocol for the collection of qualitative data on the use of a drawing-to-learn method, sketching, during a one-semester college biology course. Students adopted sketching, and nearly all used sketches as mental images, while many also applied the sketches as mental models used for model-based reasoning. The approach to teaching drawing used in this study may be an effective way to develop these skills in students.
