Description
This class is an introduction to human anatomy art curriculum that covers proportions and gesture, skeletal foundations, and major muscle groups.
Students will learn to draw basic body proportions, skeleton landmarks, and surface muscle forms. Through guided exercises, students will gain practical experience in measuring and confidence in drawing proportions. The purpose of the course is not to memorize every muscle and bone, but to understand the body's underlying structure well enough to draw believable figures from imagination or observation. A solid grasp of anatomy improves proportion, movement, expression, and the ability to stylize characters while keeping them convincing.
Recommended for teens 16 and above.
Supplies for this class are not included, see list below:
Drawing pencil set with hb/b graphite pencils
a sketchbook of your choice

Instructor
Marley Hirsch
Marley’s artwork is lively, experimental, and expressionist. She is an illustrator from New York City. Her primary mediums are oil pastel, pencil, ink, mixed media, charcoal, Photoshop, Procreate, and Clip Studio Paint. She draws inspiration from literary sources, international culture, and a variety of artists throughout history. Her biggest artistic influences are Jack Davis and Otto Dix. She also specializes in sports history archival work and digitization projects. Hirsch is the developer behind Fantome Noir, a 1950’s murder mystery board game. She also has experience producing artwork for independent game development and community-driven video game projects.
Her work seeks to harness multidisciplinary theories of art. Multidisciplinary theories of art examine art through the combined perspectives of multiple fields rather than treating it solely as an aesthetic object. These approaches recognize that artistic creation, interpretation, and impact are influenced by psychological, social, historical, cultural, scientific, and technological factors.
Hirsch earned a BFA in game design, military history, and East Asian Politics at NYU Gallatin in 2021. She has also taught the Charles Bargue method of drawing and painting in an atelier setting, and currently tutors students privately. Her work has been represented at the Gallatin Arts Festival, EternalCon, the Art Center of Corpus Christi, and the Texas State Museum of Asian Cultures and Education Center. She is currently writing “Safe Chemical Handling form Artists”, a guide to help artists create confidently while minimizing health and environmental risks associated with art materials. Their other current project is an illustrated short story retelling of Celtic myths and legends.
