BioMedical

Recently, we have gone through a lot of college-prep and deciding what we want to do with our lives, "we" being the junior class I belong to at my school.  I was trying to decide which classes to take for my senior year, and I knew that I wanted to take Anatomy 2.  I am usually not a science person, but I really enjoy my A&P class right now, so I had to drop Spanish 4 and ditch math in order to fit it in.  Regardless, I can still fit in my two art classes I really wanted to take, Creative Drawing & Painting, which we use to dabble in the careers we are thinking about, and Adobe Photoshop 1 & 2.  Then, we had a college fair at a nearby university.  Colleges from all around showed up with their reps to talk to us about the possibility of attending their school.  While looking in to CIA, Cleveland Institute of Art, I noticed that one of the several programs they offer was called Biomedical Art.  In further inquiry, I really thought it might be an interesting profession.  Or maybe if I want to be a physical therapist, it could go hand in hand, as most of the biomedical art classes would almost but not quite the same.


I looked up some bioartists, and Hunter Cole is really something.  She has posters that read "Ebola is beautiful" and "Herpes is beautiful."  Pretty interesting interpretations.  Above, seen in warm colors, is a painting called "Malaria Resistance."  Below, seen in cool colors, is "Blue."
