This course is a continuation of the advanced drawing course ART 205 Human Life Drawing. Students will expand their knowledge of anatomy and conduct research outside of the studio. Students will exit this class with an ability to draw the human form accurately and identify major skeletal and muscular landmarks.

Prerequisites: Admission to the BTAD or instructor permission.

Quarters Offered: Fall, Winter, Spring

Student Outcomes/Competencies:
Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:

Identify bone structures and surface muscle in the human form
