Scientific Illustration with David Wheeler

Presented by Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM) at Provincetown Art Association and Museum

Welcome to scientific illustration, wherein the artist’s free play of the imagination is set aside for something completely different: the line drawn as inquiry, evidence, and substance; a revelation born of instruments, extreme focus, and precise measuring. With this exercise, the new knowledge, lines become wonders, a gathering of routes and channels, art and science flowing together. And from this start-up grows limitless possibility: elements, principles, basic shapes, forms and structures, configuration, construction in nature, new worlds, and final understanding.

David Wheeler, B.F.A., M.F.A., teaches at the Pratt Institute’s Center Extension Campus at Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute. He is a veteran marine science illustrator whose art work is in the permanent collections of museums, universities, and marine centers in this country and abroad, and he has made life-sized models of dinosaurs for the American Museum of Natural History and the Osaka Museum of Natural History in Japan.
