“Biology through art” is a collaborative network of biologists and artists that explores the integration of biology education and artistic expression. This approach builds on the demonstrated cognitive and academic benefits of art-enhanced instruction in biology courses to increase creativity, course engagement, and concept comprehension by diverse students — biology majors and non-majors, as well as traditional and non-traditional students. To engage diverse learning preferences, we emphasize concrete, immediate expression of concepts in biology, and encourage thinking about concepts from diverse perspectives. “Biology through art” is additionally motivated by recent calls from national advisory bodies for the integration of education in the sciences with the arts and humanities, with an emphasis on the college graduate as a scientifically literate member of society.
