concentration on the general impression produced by a scene or object the use of unmixed primary colors small strokes to simulate actual reflected light.

Histo-Art Project Guidelines

To complete this project, you are to do the following:

1)Select a favorite tissue from the slide list.

2)Obtain a picture of this tissue image from the internet and print it out. (If you do not have access to a printer outside of class, see me to work out a time to print a tissue image.)

3)Create an art piece based on impressionism theory. (You can use any medium you would like- oil, watercolor, paper, canvas, poster board, etc.)

• You also need to include a title for the art work and a brief statement explaining the kind of tissue depicted, characteristics of the tissue, location of the tissue, and how the tissue inspired the composition.

• Your final art work needs to be mounted to a piece of poster board. The final product should include your art work, title, written statement, and printed tissue picture.

• This project is equivalent to a test grade. 75 points for the project itself and 25 more points for participating in the Histo-Art Show.

•Simple columnar epithelium

•Stratified columnar epithelium

•Transitional epithelium

•Elastic cartilage

•Hyaline cartilage

•Fibrocartilage

•Compact bone

Compact Detonation, which shows the Haversian systems (Osteons) found in compact bone tissue as exploding fireworks.

In The Faces of Cardiac, a student depicts the profiles of two people within the walls of the heart (cardiac muscle).

In the pastel, Butterflies, another student shows the lacunae of elastic cartilage as the circles often found on the wings of butterflies.
