WOODS HOLE – Tom Hodgson said he never drew anything before he took a drawing class from Julia Child, a biological illustrator and natural history artist who teaches popular classes in Woods Hole.

The work of Hodgson and other students of Child will be on display this month as the final exhibit of the season at the Woods Hole Historical Museum.

For her own works, Child works in pen and ink, colored pencil, half-tone techniques, and watercolor wash, and her work has appeared in more than a dozen books and numerous scientific journals and textbooks.

She lives with her husband Frank in Woods Hole, where she teaches popular classes in drawing plants and animals to students of all ages.

The exhibit, Drawings From Life by the Students of Julie Child, is on display in Gallery 2 at the museum.

Also on display in the museum, the exhibit about the Businesses of Old Woods Hole continues in Gallery 1.

The show, The Winter That Was: The 2015 Winter In Woods Hole, is no longer on display, but visitors can still see some parts of that show. Photos by Bob Grosch, a video of Woods Hole ice from Brian Switzer’s drone, and Catherine Bumpus’ time-lapse photographs of Woods Hole Passage are playing continuously on a screen in the Museum entryway.

The Woods Hole Historical Museum galleries will be closing for the winter on October 10. The museum’s archives are open to the public on Tuesdays and Thursdays year-round.

The museum is located on Woods Hole Road, next to the library in the village of Woods Hole. Admission is free and donations are accepted.
