Eighteenth century skeletal reconstructions of the unicorn are thought to have been inspired by Ice Age mammoth and rhinoceros bones found in a cave near Quedlinburg, Germany in 1663.

Knight, the first to depict dinosaurs as active animals, dominated the paleoart landscape through the early 1900s. While Charles Knight, Rudolph Zallinger and Zdeněk Burian dominated the landscape of "classic" scientific paleoart in the first half of the 20th century, they were far from the only paleoartists working at this time. Dinosaurs often show their faces in classroom topics, not just for science purposes, but because of the creative influence, it seems to hold in children.

Zallinger, a Russia-born American painter, began working for the Yale Peabody Museum illustrating marine algae around the time that the United States entered World War II. This dinosaur art activity for KS1/KS2 is a great accompaniment to your teaching on the prehistoric world or recognising and naming different dinosaurs.All but two of them focused on a single genus, looking at its likely lifestyle and palaeoecology in a similar vein to the well-known Rourke books, although in this case there’s no narrative thread to follow.

A basic understanding of the subject organism's place in time ( geochronology) and space ( paleobiogeography) is necessary for restorations of scenes or environments in paleoart. The SVP is also the site of the occasional/annual "PaleoArt Poster Exhibit", a juried poster show at the opening reception of the annual SVP meetings.Many of these artists developed unique and lucrative stylistic niches without sacrificing their rigorous approach, such as Douglas Henderson's detailed and atmospheric landscapes, and Luis Rey's brightly-colored, "extreme" depictions.
