Course Objective

The aim of this course is to investigate the figural characteristics of human body by comparing predefined information relating to muscle and bone from live-model observation-based drawings. With the etudes, it encourages to gain basic information about Anatomy which will build a base for art works; it also aims to teach and to apply the learned information into a visual language and use it in this context.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To define differences and common traits of human-animal, female-male bodies' anatomic-structures.
2   To investigate the anatomical structure of the human body with considering the connection of part-whole in a well-proportioned way,
3   be able to transform the observations about the live-model's anatomical structure into form,
4   To be able to define body parts separately, and to identify the important parts in the process of looking into the connections in between.
5   To transform the information about the anatomical structure into a creative activity under the light of aesthetic expectations
