This course explores surface anatomy and the practice of depicting the human form through drawing and painting. Together, we will carry forward the longstanding tradition of blending anatomical study with artistic creation. Through weekly studio sessions, students will produce anatomically inspired works using both traditional and contemporary techniques. Emphasis will begin with drawing, then transition to grisaille (a monochromatic painting technique).
