Ecorche Class and the Hyoid Bone

In the Ecorche class at the Woodstock School of Art we are presently fleshing out the head and neck, and last week class I lectured on the Hyoid bone and it's role as an anchpr for muscle and the role of the Laryngeal cartilage of the Cricoid as armor for the glottis.

Some sketches from open sketch at Unison

Classroom Demos

Here are some drawings done on the big roll of grey Bordon Riley.

Artistic Anatomy and the Portrait in Clay at the Woodstock School of Art

No really this time is for real. I perfected the last little teaser vid and used the entire War track Low Rider.

Spliced in footage from last week's Portrait in Clay class along with some cool vid of frank, Carol, and Pat drawing with the long stick.

Canine Brachium

Dogs have disconnected shoulder bones (lacking the collar bone of the human skeleton) that allow a greater stride length for running and leaping.Consequently this specialization shrinks the biceps, as the scapula lacks the bony coracoid process onto which it can anchor. The supraspinatus muscle enlarges, filling out over half of the scapula surface. The deltoid muscles shrink as they lack the bony ridge of the clavicle from which to emerge, and the triceps take on a more important role in translocation. Most interesting is how the radius has pronated and then locked itself in, although it hasn't fused like a horses radius and ulna .

Artistic Anatomy Demo Drawings

Here's a few recent demo drawings from my Artistic Anatomy Class held at the Woodstock School of Art and at the Barrett Art Center.- The  drawings are drawn with with Coates Vine Charcoal and highlighted with  NuPastel  hard pastel "Ivory".

 The surfaces are Canson Mi Tientes 19" x 25" paper and Borden Riley grey 48" charcoal paper roll.
