Alaskan science illustrator Katherine Hocker combines her love of science and art in this video exploring the drawing cycle! Learn how you can use the cycle to observe, plan, practice, and draw anything in the world with these repeatable steps. Katherine’s process will help you create realistic depictions of objects to not only create works of art, but stretch your scientific curiosity as well.
Katherine Hocker (she/her) is a science illustrator from Gustavus, Alaska, who teaches as an artist-in-residence in schools, typically through grants from the Alaska State Council on the Arts. As a teaching artist, her mission is to inspire students to use art to observe the world more closely, make connections with what they observe, build on those connections to learn more, and share what they learn with others. She approaches these goals by teaching life drawing and science illustration as tools for science learning.
