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.

Triceps

From last weeks Ecorche class..."The Triceps"

• The primary function of the triceps is to extend the elbow, which results in straightening the arm. 
• The secondary function of the triceps is fulfilled only by the long head of the muscle, which is to adduct the arm (or to bring the arm down towards the body). The triceps shares this function with the latissimus dorsi (back muscles).

Interesting to note the placement of the Long Head and how it traverses the medial and lateral heads. On flexion it bulges out prominently at the tricep tendon sheath- a flat band of tendon that angles from the elbow up and lateraly. Check it out.

Serratus Muscles

In the Woodstock Ecorche class we are covering the muscles of the brachium- the shoulder- and these are recent class drawings of the positions of the Serratus muscles. TThese include the Serratus Anterior, Serratus Anterior Superior, and the Serratus Posterior, both the superior and inferior groups.
