Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this art history class:

Why do artists study anatomy? Is it any different from the medical study of anatomy? Join artist, doctor, and independent scholar Allison Hill-Edgar for her fascinating lecture and discussion workshop exploring the history of anatomical representation and how art and medicine have been closely intertwined and often interdependent. Whereas in the Renaissance, little distinction was made between artistic and medical anatomy, by the 19th century they were different pursuits. Particular focus will be given to the differences between the works of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, as well as those by Vesalius, Dürer, Rembrandt, Thomas Eakins, Damien Hirst, Marc Quinn, Janine Antoni, and other contemporary artists. We will also examine the history and current practice of teaching anatomy in Art Academies.


*This is a lecture and discussion based workshop. No supplies are necessary, but notebook and writing utensil are recommended!

During this time the instructor can work with the student who missed the previous week, talk with them and explain what to do.
