SUMMARY
PNSO's Scientific Art Projects Plan: The Stories on Earth (2010—2070) / PNSO 地球故事科学艺术创作计划(2010—2070
A PICTORIAL GUIDE TO PALEONTOLOGY
This series is a product of PNSO's "Darwin: An Art Project of Life
Sciences" in Scientific Art Projects Plan: The Stories on Earth (2010—2070),
initiated by ZHAO Chuang and YANG Yang. This extensive project is an effort
to recreate Earth's prehistoric and extinct lives. It picks 500 representative
Mesozoic fossils from around the world, using art to restore the skeletons
and live appearances of these fossils based on science. It shows information
about the origins of the fossils as well as the species’ body sizes, living
periods, and diets, in Chinese and English.
This series includes five volumes: Dinosaurs (vol 1-3), Pterosaurs (vol 4),
and Prehistoric Aquatic Reptiles (vol 5). Based on new scientific progress,
the current edition revises more than 100 statistics in the first edition and
includes the images of the newly discovered paleontological species.
Several illustrations used in the series have appeared in leading
scientific journals such as Nature, Science, and Acta Palaeontologica
Sinica. PNSO hopes this series will provide paleontologists with a rich set of
illustrations and statistics.
CONTRIBUTORS
ZHAO Chuang and YANG Yang are two professionals who work together to
create scientific art. Mr. ZHAO Chuang, a scientific artist, and Ms. YANG Yang,
an author of science books for children, started working together when they
jointly founded PNSO, an organization devoted to the research and creation
of scientific art in Beijing on June 1st, 2010. A few months later, they launched
Scientific Art Projects Plan: Stories on Earth (2010-2070). The plan uses scientific
art to create a captivating, historically accurate narrative. These narratives are
based on the latest scientific research, focusing on the complex relationships
between species, natural environments, communities, and cultures. The
narratives consider the perspectives of human civilizations while exploring
Earth's past, present, and future. The PNSO founders plan to spend 60 years
to do research and create unique and engaging scientific art and literature for
people around the world. They hope to share scientific knowledge through
publications, exhibitions, and courses. PNSO's overarching goal is to serve
research institutions and the general public, especially young people.
PNSO has independently completed or participated in numerous creative
and research projects. The organization's work has been shared and loved with
thousands of people around the world. PNSO collaborates with professional
scientists and has been invited to many key laboratories around the world to
create scientific works of art. Many works produced by PNSO staff members
have been published in leading journals, including Nature, Science, and Cell.
The organization has always been committed to supporting state-of-the-art
scientific explorations. In addition, a large number of illustrations completed by
PNSO staff members have been published and cited in hundreds of well-known
media outlets, including The New York Times, Washington Post, The Guardian,
Asahi Shimbun, People's Daily, BBC, CNN, Fox News, and CCTV. The works created
