ANATOMY FOR ARTISTS ~ SANTA FE 2009

A course of 12 lectures/drawing sessions
on Sunday afternoons 2-5pm
September 20th - December 20th 2009

This is an anatomy course specifically for artists who are interested in using the figure in their work. Since the 15th century, artists have relied on a thorough understanding of anatomy to produce convincing depictions of humans and animals in their work. Over 12 afternoons, we will thoroughly cover all the bones of the human skeleton and the superficial muscles of the body including the face. I will be concentrating mainly on the surface muscles of the body that are actually visible and some time will be spent discussing the methods we use to move our bones through space and why it is that we have evolved the particular muscles and bones that we have. Each three hour session will comprise of a lecture followed by a drawing session focusing on the part/s that we have been discussing. The student will have the opportunity to compare real human bones to the living model in order to better understand the body surfaces that they see.
