Anatomy: The development of a human body in relation to its environment is being discussed. There is a summary of the history of anatomy, of the formation and changes of the anatomy during human life, and of symmetry in the human body. Important muscles and  tendons, but mainly bones and joints are being discussed in terms of material, form and appearance, as well as the relationship between these and their function. Application of anatomical knowledge is discussed, consulting existing works of art. The connection is made between the superficial form and internal structures.

Anatomy drawing: the student draws several anatomical parts (e.g. skull, pelvis, thorax,...) and their interrelated proportions. In this process he/she also consults examples from books and plaster models. He/she draws the skeleton as a whole and in parts, and learns to see and reproduce the human skeleton as a complex construction assembled from several different basic volumes. The student also draws a living nude model: e.g. changes in form, caused by movements are investigated. The relation is investigated between the forms at the surface of the body and internal structures, mainly in terms of skeleton parts.
