An understanding of anatomy, kinesiology, and morphology is essential for an artist wishing to accurately interpret and depict the human form. This course will consist of an in-depth analysis of the form and function of the human musculo-skeletal system to help artists develop practical strategies to draw the complex relationship of gesture, proportion, and perspective of the figure from direct observation. This online class is recommended to both figurative painters and sculptors.

What you will learn:
1. The ability to extrapolate and interpret critical anatomical information from the observed figure
2. A functional understanding of the major musculoskeletal structures of the body
3. A focused and efficient drawing strategies based on anatomical, gestural, and perspectival understanding
