The Exquisite Corpse

Post by Gob »

The aim of this course is to provide an introduction to anatomy through visual arts, using an integrated approach.

Students will have an opportunity to gain knowledge and visual comprehension of the structures that compose the human body and develop communication skills relevant to both disciplines.

The structure and function of the body will be explored and put in context using a variety of two-dimensional and three-dimensional materials and processes including live and anatomical models.

The course will be co-taught by academics in CASS and CMBE and delivered at the Medical School anatomy laboratory and the School of Art, Foundation Studies studios.

A co-mentoring process will be established using postgraduate Doctor of Medicine and Surgery (MChD) students, with a background in anatomy, and postgraduate visual art students.

Applying a blended learning model this course will take advantage of the ANU's online learning environment.

The Exquisite Corpse

Did I mention I'm a body donor? Bag... tag... no muss, no fuss. My hospital instructions: No giggling... no internet images.

I'll probably land up as jerky treats for dogs. "Soylent Green II: It's not just for people anymore."

Well, Ray, I think you've got the "jerky" part mastered... ;)

"Exquisite Corpse" was the title of Andrei Codrescu's literary magazine. Fun writer.
