Course Objective

The course has the aim to provide to an artist the relevant and basic information of form regarding the structure of the human body while working on a live model. The subject of this basic structural information relates to investigating bones, muscles, to define the human body and its parts through the sketches on surface-anatomy, to understand the connections between the structural traits like proportion, form, size; and to transform the nexus of these basics into artistis images.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To define concepts and and basic technical expressions regarding Anatomy,
2   To be able to distinguish between Anatomy and Art Anatomy, and describe the differences,
3   To perceive and form the anatomical structure of the head and the whole body in integrity,
4   To define the proportions of the head and body-figure systematically,
5   To understand the human body by analyzing through the etudes and drafts of muscle and bones,
6   To benefit from the art works which provide resources of information regarging the anatomical structure of human body.
