I'm interested to hear all this as I am hoping to be teaching life
drawing to medical students in 2010. (I say "hoping" as it's a
voluntary module i.e. they have to choose to take it before I can do
it!). The life classes will be part of a wider look at anatomy and art,
with options to study things like attitudes to the body in Western
art/culture, drawing & science etc. etc.
In a sense they will be looking at anatomy and drawing from the "other
end", in that they are supposed to know the anatomy and will be learning
about drawing in relation to what they can see as well as what they
know. The course was suggested by the co-ordinator of the Medical
Humanities course who is a medic, but took a year out to study art &
life drawing in particular and has had a long-term ambition to include
life drawing in the undergraduate course.
