Images for Text, Text for Images

In this brown bag, Dr. Landin will share activities designed to help students learn biology by drawing illustrations for text and, alternatively, by developing text for images. Drawing can encourage greater attention to detail in writing activities. Alternatively, developing captions for images works as a stress-free exercise in careful word selection. Be prepared to sketch (stick figures welcome)!

Jennifer Landin, Ph.D., is an assistant professor of biological sciences, dedicated to teaching biological illustration, introductory biology, and animal diversity courses. She promotes awareness of conservation through visual arts, education, and her illustrated blog, RedNewtGallery.
