Class #148a: Anatomy of the Human Body with Dr. Said Bouftass
Session | Available
Dr. Said Bouftass will present a unique course on the architecture of the human skull. Offering exclusive access to his latest phenomorphological research on portraits, the face, head, and skull, Dr. Said Bouftass offers a course specifically dedicated to the architecture of the skull. He will demonstrate that as long as we ignore the morphology of the ethmoid and sphenoid bones, we will never understand the mystery of the morphological strength and anatomy of the skull.
Artists must understand this anatomy, which no book on artistic anatomy has been able to address in a serious and in-depth manner. Dr. Said Bouftass will reveal the subtlety of this architecture. He will devote the entire month of July to its study, followed by August, where he will study the muscles of the face and neck.
Artists can enroll in an eight-week program for $300 or choose a four-week program for $200. A human and artistic experience not to be missed.
- The class will meet in our coach house studio (rear building).
There will be a shared model fee for two of the sessions.
It's very important to have a notebook/sketchbook (9x12) for copying sketches and écorchés, a kneaded eraser as well as colored pencils in black, blue, green, red and orange. Keep the same notebook/sketchbook throughout the course.
