We’re excited to announce the final workshop in this series, in which Brett Couch and Holly Schmidt will present several fine arts-based observational and mark-making activities that have been implemented in specific labs and woven into the structure of an entire course. These activities were designed to be applicable to diverse types of labs where students make, interpret, or record visual observations, regardless of the specific organismal or disciplinary focus.
This workshop will take place on Tuesday, December 8 from 2:00-3:30 PM in the Biological Sciences building, room 4009.
Attendance will be capped at 25 people, so register today to reserve your spot! Note: you are welcome to join even if you did not attend the first two workshops.
