Skeletal Systems Picture Portfolio
You will be producing a Skeletal Systems Portfolio with labeled pictures. Use your book
and the internet. Website will have links.
 All drawings must be done in pencil (no colors), using shading.
 Label the bone and the view (anterior/posterior/lateral etc.) We will list exact
parts each day in class that need to be labeled.
 Labels should be handwritten and must be done using a ruler. See examples.
