Écorché Sculpture: artistic anatomy from the skeletal system up

This class teaches students an intimate knowledge of artistic anatomy from the skeletal system up. The class will spend 4 weeks on sculpting a 24” skeleton, learning specific bone points relative to anatomical importance, while at the same time reinforcing the student’s system of proportion. In the following 4 weeks of the class students will place the artistic muscles of the human form onto the skeleton that they have created. This method of anatomical learning is a time-honored tradition among figurative enthusiasts or anyone wishing to take their artistic figurative skills to the next level.

This class will be a combination of work with a model as well as work without a model.
