Overview
Goal: Create a watercolor representation of a specialized cell to feature the beauty and complexity of cell structure and function.
Description: In this collaborative Biology and Art project, students created a piece of art to highlight the complexity and beauty of cells as the basic unit of structure and function in living things. Students selected a specialized cell, such as a neuron or bone cancer cell, and created their art based upon digital images as inspiration. They utilized a watercolor pencil technique as instructed by our art teacher, Debbie Kelly, and researched information about their cell with the guidance of their Biology teachers.
