Anatomy

In the Renaissance the best way to learn human anatomy was through dissection. Artists at this time used scientific tools to make their art more life like. Leonardo was very interested in the human form in art. He wanted to create the perfect and exact human form.

I am interested in the use of skulls or anatomical sketches. Skulls represent death and mortality and I like the idea of making them seem metallic and futuristic. Kind-of like a cyborg.
