“How do they do that?” is a question that echoes through the Museum each May, when we
host our annual Illustratin g Nature exhibit of original works by students in the UC Extension
Science Illustration program. Whether it is a minutely detailed trompe l’oeil, an exquisitely rendered line drawing, a lush watercolor, or a technically perfect digital illustration, each work presented in this exhibit is inspiring. The talented artists from the UC Extension Science Illustration program depict everything from mammals to microbes and from amphibians to asteroids in astounding detail. More than 60 elegant works in watercolor, acrylic, pen and ink, colored pencil, graphite, scratchboard, and digital media will be on view this year.
Illustrating Nature is co-sponsored by the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History, the Santa Cruz Museum Association, and the Science Illustration Program, University of California , Santa Cruz Extension. The University of California is one of the few universities in the United States to offer a specialized program in scientific illustration.
