Students learn the importance of anatomy for creating accurate depictions of the human figure. Learning to recognize anatomical landmarks on the surface of the body and understanding how flesh is built out around those locations is a focus. Anatomical structures are broken down and grouped into basic shapes that can be easily applied to the figure. Robert Beverly Hale’s five-eye system of measuring skeletal proportions is covered. Model fees are extra.
Supplies are required for this course. As a service to our students, most supply lists are kept on hand in the Art League Supply Store. The existence of this store gives students the opportunity to obtain supplies in advance and come to class prepared to work. The Art League Supply Store is in studio 217 at the Torpedo Factory Art Center, just around the corner from the Art League School Registration Office.
They are open 7 days a week for your convenience. Due to our large enrollment, we are unable to mail, fax, or read supply lists over the phone. It is the responsibility of the student to acquire the materials list.
Hours: Sunday through Thursday from 11:00am to 5:00pm
Friday and Saturday from 10:00am to 5:00pm
