Scientific Illustration has a role to illustrate science and attract (science visual communication).Expert knowledge is indispensable for drawing scientifically accurate illustrations.But,The existence of scientific illustration in science of Japan has not been recognized/disseminated.Today, science visual ability is indispensable for international research of science.In addition,Outreach activities linking science and society are also emphasized.It is clear that science visualization is very important.So,I have that Geo-Scientific Illustration specialized in geoscience can be done in Japanese science.I began to challenge workshops for geoscience and classes for junior high and high school students.I will introduce our past activity reports and future developments.
