1. Histo-Art Project Chapter 5 Tissues: Human Anatomy

2. Making connections
When studying histology, it helps to compare what you see with common objects in order to retain the identification of the tissue. Your challenge is to create a piece of artwork inspired by your favorite tissue.

3. Impressionism
The impressionist style of painting is characterized chiefly by:
concentration on the general impression produced by a scene or object
the use of unmixed primary colors
small strokes to simulate actual reflected light
These include the works of Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Paul Cézanne.

4. Claude Monet: Impression, Sunrise (1873)

5. Claude Monet, The Stroll, Camille Monet and Her Son Jean (Woman with a Parasol), (1875)

6. Edgar Degas, Ballet Rehearsal (1875)

9. Histo-Art Project Guidelines
To complete this project, you are to do the following:
Select a favorite tissue from the slide list.
Obtain a picture of this tissue image from the internet and print it out. Recommended size: 3” x 5” or 4” x 6”
Create an art piece based on impressionism theory. (You can use any medium you would like- oil, watercolor, paper, canvas, poster board, etc.)
Project due date: October 31st

10. Slide List:
Stratified squamous epithelium
Simple squamous epithelium
Simple columnar epithelium
Stratified columnar epithelium
Transitional epithelium
Elastic cartilage
Hyaline cartilage
Fibrocartilage
Compact bone
Developing bone
Smooth muscle
Skeletal muscle
Cardiac muscle
Adipose
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 assessment grade, worth a total of 75 points.

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

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

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