HEAD ÉCORCHÉ

Écorché: A French word meaning “without skin.” Écorché sculpture is an in-
depth study of the body from an artistic point of view. These sculptures have
been produced by artists over the centuries for reference.

At the end of the class, participants will be left with an expanded knowledge of
anatomy in three dimension, a notebook full of drawings and handouts for
future reference, a completed head écorché sculpture, and most importantly a
system of study to fuel the students future interest in the subject.
