Paleoart
Visions of the Prehistoric Past
Wednesday, July 01
7:00pm - 8:00pm
When art and science work together to create an image of prehistoric life, it’s called paleoart. Paleoartists study living animals and work with scientists to develop the best examples of these animals. Join us for a talk on what paleoart is, how artists work with scientists to create images, and more with digital artist Daniel Eskridge.
