Murals to Teach
I love how this science teacher used murals to teach his students science. Although he’s retiring after 37 years of teaching at San Luis Obispo High School in California, the murals he painted will still line the hallways for his students to continually view.
Here’s another example of artistic teaching methods. Dr. Andrew Yang teaches science at The Art Institute of Chicago and incorporates aspect of biology and art in his teaching.
This is an interesting type of art called “bioartography” or cell art. These are mouse stem-cell neurons and a section of a mouse’s stomach by scientific artist, Deb Gumico, from the Michigan Center for Organogenesis. She and her art are profiled by Erin Chang Ding on the Detroit Free Press.
And certainly science can help us learn about art. Infared technology reveals the preparatory drawings of the Renaissance painter, Fernando Gallego’ Christ and Samaritan Woman to show the original concept and how subtle changes were made to the composition.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
