I have personally took the time out to create
different sketches for my project. Some were
live illustrations from the fetal pig dissections
and developed a diagram of the inside of a
fish with play-doh.Also by having you all try
to draw at least one of the pictures from my
presentation, it gives you the chance to
experience this part of the medical field. I
was fortunately able to get some of my work
put up for the art show this friday.
