The Art of Bones
Using objective studies of a skeleton and bones in the studio as a basis, students in Advanced Drawing and Painting develop artwork of their choice and in any medium. They look at other artists who have taken natural forms as a departure point in their artwork—for example, Henry Moore, a 20th-century British sculptor who took inspiration from the shapes and forms of bones and often linked them to the landscape by making organically shaped, abstract bronze and stone figures.
