Ecorche (Fr.: "flayed") is a figure viewed without skin for the purpose of anatomical study and artistic reference. Under the guidance of your instructor and from lectures, reference materials, and live models, you will build an anatomically precise 3-D model of the human muscular/skeletal system from the bones out. This will be a two-quarter course, meeting two days per week. Winter will focus on the skeleton with Spring devoted to the muscular system. A requisite for the serious figure artist; you will emerge with a durable reference figure and irreplaceable anatomical expertise.
