Our Mission
The Natural Science Illustration Program was developed to offer opportunities to create an overall experience in art instruction. What a wonderful feeling it is to see your finished work through which you will have expanded your abilities and discovered new ways of encountering art. As art instructors it is in this student realization that we find our greatest joy!
This uncommon result is achieved through a combination of skilled instructors, a range of art techniques, personalized support, and of course the uniqueness of a classroom setting located in the Yale Peabody Museum. What’s more, our students exhibit their art in the museum’s dinosaur room. Holistically this makes for a truly distinctive and memorable experience.
