Description: An experiential learning environment fosters engagement and commitment to process, while arts-based
learning incorporates student creativity and involvement. Through the three activities outlined in this paper, designed for undergraduate biology students in the lab or classroom, teachers become facilitators of
interactive and aesthetic experiences. The desired outcome is arts-based teaching directly relevant to biological learning outcomes, where students actively engage with and indelibly remember their
experience. These activities are complementary to, rather than replacements for, labs or lectures.
