In one week we will start our anatomy research project, and for it you will need solid anatomy references. In the past, students have tried to use only internet images with rather lackluster results: low resolution pictures with hazy detail, disjointed anatomical information with little concern for artistic applications, etc. That is why I will strongly recommend you purchase an anatomy book. Not only will it make your homework much easier, but it will become a valuable resource in the future when trying to draw the human figure.

This is the list of books from the Syllabus with links to Amazon (although, of course, you can buy them anywhere you want:)

• Classic Human Anatomy, by Valerie L. Winslow
• An Atlas of Anatomy for Artists, by Fritz Schider
• Anatomy for Artist, by Sarah Simblet
• Artistic Anatomy, by Richer Hale
• Strength Training Anatomy, by Frederic Delavier

There are, of course, many more anatomy books for the artist. I will suggest, however, that you avoid purchasing medical anatomy books because it becomes hard to separate visible (picture-making) information, from invisible (medical) information.

Lastly, in terms of Constructive Anatomy, I will provide you with a link to reference materials, so you don’t have to buy the Bridgman Book for class. Having said that, is and incredibly useful (and cheap) book to have for reference, so consider purchasing it. Let me know in the comments if you have any questions!
