Anatomical Studies

“The true work of art is but a
shadow of the divine perfection.”

~Michelangelo

High school students spent time during

the second quarter observing anatomy.
Students have studied the drawing of
bone anatomy, muscle anatomy and
hand structure. They have used a
variety of mediums such as graphite,
ink, charcoal, and colored pencil. These
assignments make room for the
exploration of the human form and
spark conversations of the how and
why. One discussion gave rise to the
observation that the skeletal
“imperfections” are what allow the

body to work and have natural motion.
It is always humbling examining God’s
“divine perfection”.
