Description: Artistic study of the concept of anatomical unity. Principle skeletal and muscular structures affecting surface form of the human figure. Includes drawing project, portfolio, and tests



MCCCD Official Course Competencies
1. Define terminology related to anatomical positions or joint motion. (I)
2. Identify skeletal structures by name and sequence. (II)
3. Identify muscles by group, individual name, function, origin, and insertion. (III)
4. Construct drawings of bone and muscle for any section of the human form. (II, III, IV)
5. Draw a human figure in various positions with marking (drawing) references to the layered and surfaced anatomy. (II, III, IV, V)
MCCCD Official Course Competencies must be coordinated with the content outline so that each major point in the outline serves one or more competencies. MCCCD faculty retains authority in determining the pedagogical approach, methodology, content sequencing, and assessment metrics for student work. Please see individual course syllabi for additional information, including specific course requirements.
