– Create representational images of the requested anatomical features. This week: torso, front and back, bone and muscle. (torso will encompass clavicles, spine, ribcage and pelvis).
– Drawings must be life size. As size reference, use your own body. The image of the ribcage, for example, cannot be smaller than your very own ribcage.
– Information must be accurate: make sure to draw the right number or ribs, vertebrae and other parts.
– Use shading and color to describe roundness, perspective and difference of materials. You don’t have to make muscles red, but it must be clar to the viewer the difference between bones and muscles.
– Use at least two references. You can settle for a composition or view out of one reference alone , but you must compare what you are drawing with more than one source to make sure you draw issues of topology properly.
– Make this assignment your own! Use different materials, colors, techniques and even narratives to present the information.

Hi, regarding the submission of anatomical project, when do we have to submit it? If it’s a three week project, do we need to show our progress in the coming classes?

The anatomy project as a whole is due 3/18 (after spring break, according to the calendar.) I would like to see, however, work in progress every week starting this one. I hope this answers your question!

For the torso is it acceptable to do half muscle half skeleton for the front and back section of the anatomy drawing?

If I understand your question, yes: you can do, in one front view, half bones and half muscles. For the back view you would do the same, half skeleton and half muscle. I showed some examples of this in class, but I will be happy to show some other ones.

Do you want us to bring the physical drawings in or would a picture of the progress be okay?

Sorry for the late answer. I would prefer to see the original. It would be more useful for everyone to see. Bring a photo only if it is too fragile or particularly difficult to transport in its current state.
