UNIVERSITY TEACHING

2013_Lecturer, Tufts University Experimental College course Illustrating Climate Change is a one semester, one-credit studio art course for undergraduates and is accredited as distribution in both the Environmental Sciences Department of Tufts U. and also for studio art credit by the Museum School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. I taught 13 students, all undergraduates whose majors ranged from Biological Sciences to Computer Engineering to Political Science to Fine Arts. We worked with 5 Faculty members making artworks drawing on their research, from Cell Regeneration to Trace Fossils. The course teaches observational drawing skills, art history of images of nature, contemporary issues of scientific visualization, and includes the use of nature materials such as broken solar panels, skulls, and live research frogs as models for original student artworks and journals.  All ages, majors, and techniques levels are welcomed.

This course received a special commendation from the Tufts Dean of Undergraduates.
