Master anatomy through the most beneficial learning medium of physical 3-dimensional sculpture, Original lectures & training, live demonstrations & one-on-one personal instruction. Level-2 is for intermediate to advanced artists, both digital & traditional, with a focus on hi-definition male anatomy.
Check out these live demonstration sculpts by Instructors Andrew Cawrse & Mark Newman
Course Overview: This course includes in-depth study of: the recreation, balance & tracking of the skeleton; exact origin & insertion of the superficial muscular system, including breakdown of single & multi-pennate muscles; concentration into the difficult areas of the shoulder girdle, back, knees, forearms; an introduction to the surface vascular system; and also female comparative anatomy.
Course description: From correct proportions & primitive forms to the step by step mapping of basic into complicated skeletal & muscular anatomy, attendees have to learn 2-dimensionally, drawing each anatomy step, then apply it 3-dimensionally to their sculptures. You will be studying from live World-class models. Attendees get to take their sculptures, tools and lecture materials home with them (shipping options from the workshops are also available, and can be organized with event staff).
• Principle Instructor Andrew Cawrse
Sculptor, Anatomist & former cg Model Supervisor, teaches both surgeons & artists internationally. Benefit from his experience both medically & artistically. He is also the only artist asked to teach anatomy with world famous sculptor Richard MacDonald.
• Take notes Traditionally or digitally Attendees can take notes practically in the binders provided, or digitally & be given an electronic version of the binder to take notes and draw on using an iPad or similar(Attendees are personally responsible for the safety & security of their own property)
• Classical & Modern Training
Receive both classical fundamentals (lost in today's education); plus Andrew Cawrse's original, medically correct curriculum, combining lessons from the great art masters with modern approaches as applied to both digital & traditional mediums.
• 2 & 3-dimensional learning from life & lectures simultaneously
Studying directly from the models, original hand-outs, instructor demonstrations & lectures simultaneously, attendees have to learn & map anatomy 2-dimensionally, then apply it 3-dimensionally in correct form to their sculptures.
Due to physical requirements & level of conditioning required for this level of study / figurative art, Models used are from Cirque du Soliel or similar in this course. Model pictured is fashion & fitness model Michael Hendrickson at the workshop.
• Instructor Critique & Assessment
Attendees are required to highlight their pre-existing anatomy weaknesses to be worked on with the instructors, and so are encouraged to study their own existing work prior to the workshop to make sure this is addressed in this workshop.
• Live demonstrations in HD display
From revisiting anatomy foundations to advanced surface aesthetics, instructors present live demonstrations on each subject which attendees can follow on large overhead monitors, while continuing to work at their stations.
• Comparative Anatomy - Female to Male
Comparative anatomy Lectures & demonstrations are given, working with both male & female models, to observe similarities / differences especially in muscle & fat distribution.Models pictured Azrael & Michael at workshop
• The Bodies Exhibit
Part of the workshop program, attendees have full access to the exhibit with on-site instruction from Instructor Andrew Cawrse, who is a colleague of the principle creator / anatomist of the exhibit, Dr. Honjin, so can share many insights.
