Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of Anatomy for Art Students The experience which I have had as a teacher and my acquaintance and sympathy with the requirements of students of Art have led me to the conclusion that hitherto too much stress has been laid on the nomenclature and technical details of Human Anatomy, and too little emphasis placed on the relation of these details to the surface forms. What the student requires is not a minute description of every bone, muscle, and joint, but only such an account as will enable him to appreciate their influence on the modelling of the figure. Names convey little to his mind, forms alone interest him. In the following pages, which are based on the lectures which I have had the honour of giving at the Royal College of Art, South Kensington, I have endeavoured to carry out as far as possible these principles. With this intention every effort has been made to avoid unnecessary detail, and to rid the text as far as possible of technicalities. Where there are English equivalents for the scientific terms more commonly employed, they have been made use of; but unfortunately their number is limited, and the student is left with no other alternative than to accept the scientific nomenclature. In place of adopting, as is usual, the method of furnishing a complete description of the bones, succeeded by an equally detailed account of the joints and muscles, I have incorporated them in the description of regions.

Download or read book Classic Human Anatomy in Motion written by Valerie L. Winslow and published by Watson-Guptill. This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essential companion book to the bestselling Classic Human Anatomy provides artists and art students with a deeper understanding of human anatomy and different types of motion, inspiring more realistic and energetic figurative art. Fine-art instruction books do not usually focus on anatomy as it relates to movement, despite its great artistic significance. Written by a long-time expert on drawing and painting human anatomy, Classic Human Anatomy in Motion offers artists everything they need to realistically draw the human figure as it is affected by movement. Written in a friendly style, the book is illustrated with hundreds of life drawing studies (both quick poses and long studies), along with charts and diagrams showing the various anatomical and structural components. This comprehensive manual features 5 distinct sections, each focusing on a different aspect of the human figure: bones and joint movement, muscle groups, surface form and soft tissue characteristics, structure, and movement. Each chapter builds an artistic understanding of how motion transforms the human figure and can create a sense of expressive vibrancy in one's art.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dissections Illustrated: A Graphic Handbook for Students of Human Anatomy In designing these plates the author has had in his mind the valuable assistance rendered to him in the first years of his curriculum by the magnificent plates of Professor Ellis, which, however useful they may be, are too large to be portable, and too expensive for the majority of students to obtain. In order to get over this difficulty, the plates, with the exception of five, instead of being life-size, are reduced by one-third, thus making a convenient and portable book; and it is hoped that the price will place these 'dissections' within the reach of all those who care for a graphic representation of anatomy. A picture or diagram of anatomy is far more useful in fixing the position of parts than a mere written description, and impresses them on the memory in such a manner, that they are easily recalled when engaged in surgical or medical work. The best illustration is the body it elf, and it is here that the student must lay, by careful dissection, a good and sound foundation of his anatomical work. The author ventures to place these plates before the student as portraying the different structures in their normal positions, which he has to search for and display during his dissections. Thus they will serve as models and, further, will recall the work already done when revising his anatomy previous to an examination. And when, in after years, he has settled down into the staid and prosperous practitioner, the author hopes that, should any anatomical difficulty arise when there is no subject to refer to, these plates may serve to fill a gap by showing the relations of the different structures to one another, and thus recall work long since relegated to the background. The dissections only aim at showing the ordinary details which any careful worker can dissect out far himself, and not unnecessary minutiae. The various structures have been kept as closely as possible in their normal relations to each other. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Flesh and Bones written by Monique Kornell and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This illustrated volume examines the different methods artists and anatomists used to reveal the inner workings of the human body and evoke wonder in its form. For centuries, anatomy was a fundamental component of artistic training, as artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo sought to skillfully portray the human form. In Europe, illustrations that captured the complex structure of the body—spectacularly realized by anatomists, artists, and printmakers in early atlases such as Andreas Vesalius’s De humani corporis fabrica libri septem of 1543—found an audience with both medical practitioners and artists. Flesh and Bones examines the inventive ways anatomy has been presented from the sixteenth through the twenty-first century, including an animated corpse displaying its own body for study, anatomized antique sculpture, spectacular life-size prints, delicate paper flaps, and 3-D stereoscopic photographs. Drawn primarily from the vast holdings of the Getty Research Institute, the over 150 striking images, which range in media from woodcut to neon, reveal the uncanny beauty of the human body under the skin
