Description

This course is designed to enlighten and empower the student?s knowledge of basic anatomy in skeletal and superficial musculature forms and to apply it in a drawing context with confidence and fidelity. Not only will the student become better familiarized with anatomical structures through class lectures and life drawing sessions, but a greater understanding of the dynamics of form and movement in space will be achieved through practice and repetition of procedures learned throughout the course.

Description

Ecorche (ay-kor-shay) is a French word meanining 'flayed' or 'skinned', but to figurative artists it also refers to any representation of the figure that describes what lies under the skin. In this course, we will be exploring anatomy through the production of a three-dimensional ecorche - where students will use additive and subtractive sculptural practices to create a 1/3 life-sized sculpture representing half skeletal structure and half musculature form. Lectures and materials will focus on specific areas of the body.
