The lesson plan goes beyond the conventional boundaries of art and science, highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of these fields. Students will discover the synergies between art (A) and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), gaining insights into the collaborative potential that arises when these seemingly distinct disciplines intersect.
Critical thinking takes center stage as students reflect on the ethical considerations inherent in medical illustration. They will delve into the impact of visual representation on healthcare communication, challenging preconceived notions and addressing potential biases. This reflective process not only cultivates critical thinking skills but also nurtures a sense of responsibility in the creation of accurate and unbiased medical depictions.
