This course is designed to help students undersand the three-dimensional structure of the human body and represent it accurately in their drawings. We will introduce an historic canon of proportion and investigate its application to the skeleton. The mechanisms and proportions of the skeleton will be discussed, and students will learn to use anatomical reference points and proportions to draw the skeleton from observation. These techniques may be applied to the human figure in the Life Drawing course.

It is important to take at least 1 session of Life Drawing before beginning this course.

Hours: One day per week, 10:30am to 5:30pm

Students complete this course in 4 weeks.

For students who wish to continue their anatomical study, we encourage a return to the Life Drawing to apply the information presented in this course. Afterwards, options for further study in anatomy include Constructive Anatomy I or II or Ecorché sculpture.
