Artistic Anatomy Lecture Series

2027 Artistic Anatomy lecture Series.  

This is a 10-part asynchronous, recorded lecture series exploring the aesthetics and biomechanical structure of the human form. Signing up for one session gets you access to the whole course. The actual lectures and PowerPoints are available asynchronously online. Weekly meeting times via zoom allow for discussions and follow-up Q&A sessions with Mike Magrath, Director of the Magrath Sculpture Atelier at Gage Academy. 

How it works.  

Lectures are available on YouTube, and will drop weekly on Thursday eves. You then have a week to watch prior to the discussions, which take place the following Thursday at 6:30pm. Those who registered for the class will receive a weekly email reminder with the link.
