Scientific Art

In our studio class we are exploring scientific principles in order to incorporate them into our design panel.  This led me to research work that combines scientific ideas and principles with art.
I came across the Scientific Art Studio.  They describe themselves as a "multi faceted design and fabrication facility housed in a large complex of well equipped shops and studios located in Richmond, California."  Their list of services includes...
  • Content development and science research
  • Exhibit concept development
  • Exhibit Design
  • Illustrations for presentation and fundraising
  • Scale and life sized models of humans,animals, plants, environments and planets etc.
  • Reconstructions of extinct animals and plants
  • Realistic and stylized animal sculpture
  • Diorama production and installation
  • Murals painted and/or photographic
  • Digital Mural
  • Architectural models
Below you can see some examples of their artwork!
