The Natural World

DP1 Lesson 23:
The Zoological World

In this lesson, we continue rendering complex forms with pen and ink. We focus on zoological rendering and view zoological illustration of the past as inspiration. We reflect on the potential of this art genre to impact the beliefs, values, and behaviors of a society. We create a zoological illustration of an animal in our environment and include identifying information about the animal.
