Re: Anatomy: Art or Science?

Most Arts schools don't offer anatomy any more and it is a damn shame--in fact most of them don't even offer good old fashioned drawing which is even worse. An artist needs to know what the muscles are doing under the skin if they have any hope of actually drawing a human that doesn't look like a manga character.

Sadly, conceptual art has seen actual skill developing classes being removed from the curriculum in the favour of all conceptual curriculum. An idea without the technical means to express it is just crap.

My personal gripe with "art" education.
