  • The methodology is theoretical-practical, with a strong focus on practice. It includes the presentation of content through specific projects in the field of Scientific Illustration, or by guest experts. It begins with the presentation of illustration codes for scientific drawing, through the analysis of reference works and the demonstration of specific methods and techniques to be used in the proposed exercises. Visits to museums and associations with collections are also promoted to ensure greater scientific understanding in this field of study. It includes the development of an individual practical project in Scientific Illustration, accompanied by the preparation of the respective field notebook.
