Last week we had a really good couple of sessions studying how the skeletal structure fits within a live model. We started with a male model in 20 minute standing poses where students where asked to draw one of the best-proportioned linear figures they could so far (it was only week 4!). We then alternated between the model and the skeleton for awhile, and eventually just the skeleton. They were asked to put the model in red pastel pencil, and the skeleton in charcoal pencil.
As you'll see I asked some of the more advanced or talented students to draw very large, a first time experience for many of them. Those were some of the best drawings. You can see the final results in the showcases on the first floor of the LA building at Washtenaw Community College. I think they learned a lot, now it's on to the musculature system with live models and plastic anatomical models this week!
