Anatomy Bootcamp - Drawing and Sculpting

The artistic anatomy bootcamp will introduce students to a wide range of study, from constructive anatomy, to medical terminology, culminating in the class completing their own three dimensional écorché'(flayed figure). Students will learn the historic uses of anatomy in artists work and how this has been worked into an artistic canon. This course will challenge students to use anatomical structure and proportion in their artistic practice as well as introduce them to a wide range of skills.

Classes will be focused on drawing and understanding the structure of the human form, muscle groups, skeletal structure and the effects each have on another as well as movement. Students will be guided through practice drawing sessions that will highlight practical use and will be used to aid their 1:6 scale écorché completion, they will take home their écorché as a fundamental aid in their independent study.
