Anatomical Art The aspiring medics course that utilises their creativity.
A
rt for Medics is an enrichment course chosen by many aspiring medics, or anyone interested from both the Girls’ and Boys’ School, to improve their manual dexterity and study the anatomy of the human body. It entails a four week course where Year 12 students complete a range of activities from working with clay, to sculpting hearts, to painting different organs in the human body. This year, Art for Medics was a bit different causing many students to attend it online, however, this did not stop the creativity. Students were sent silicone skin models and suture clamps which allowed them to practise suturing from home. In another session students had fun using face paint and make-up to paint muscles and tissues on their arms and faces. This allowed students to have some fun, whilst some chose to paint their arms, other students painted on their family members. This experience encouraged many students to get creative and enhance their knowledge of the human body. Art for medics is a much loved enrichment course due to its use of creativity intertwined with learning about the human anatomy. Simran Sidhu L6 SN
