Module overview:


In the module, the students study the skeleton and the muscle system of a human, and artistic solutions to problems proportions and the body as a dynamic system. Anatomical knowledge and practice of drawing/sculpting anatomy are the must-have practices of figurative artists today. A wide range of problems concerning bones, muscles, joints, and movement is being studied in individual projects and applied to projects worked on in other modules. This module relates to the programme as a vital core for understanding 3D modelling in creative industries.

This module exposes students to not only analyse and recreate the plastic anatomy of humanoids but encourages the use of this specific knowledge as part of creating conceptual art solutions contributing to the development of student’s creativity. This module develops knowledge and skills that are a part of an artist’s core skill set, especially important to individuals who lean to figurative art, character creature conceptualization but also any art problems having to do with anatomical accuracy.
