Join MAG Artist Saija Maureen to explore Scientific Illustration on April 17, 2024 at 6:30 pm.

Before we could document the species of our planet through portable photographs, the vast world of flora and fauna was transcribed into the public mind by the keen eyes and steady hands of artists. The tradition of Scientific Illustration has a fascinating history that is impossible to untangle from humanity’s understanding of science throughout the ages.

Come learn about some of the people who laid the foundations for understanding insects, finches, and plants, and try your own hand at some total information drawing using chalk pastels and pens.
