This online course is designed to teach students how to learn and study vertebrate anatomy through drawing. Students will learn the fundamental design of mammalian skeletons and overlying muscles and develop an understanding that the differences in skeletons are a result of variations on a common theme/framework dictated by an animal's lifestyle. Even though the main focus will be on mammalian anatomy, the course content is more comparative than ever because it has been updated and expanded to include fish, amphibians, reptiles and birds.
