Michael Grimaldi would find ones that fit the day’s topic and identify what was what and how it functioned.

Some tendons called aponeuroses had an iridescent quality but that's not in this sketch… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e2249b96ddb81c3511eb82/bfb4c05d-39fb-4aed-a883-8ef073b82e95/drexel_05-1.jpg drexel I painted this watercolor sketch on the last day of the class at Drexel.  By then I had worked up the nerve to paint in the lab, and though I had to be careful doing it I'm glad I did.  This shows the coloration of the cadavers pretty well, though it's a bit saturated. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e2249b96ddb81c3511eb82/78e4e854-e953-41b3-a076-61ec6d13dec2/drexel_06-1.jpg drexel Cadaver feet from Drexel.  Little pins like the one here near the pinky toe were used to quiz the med students.  Grimaldi did the same thing to us, and while I could identify superficial stuff the deeper anatomy was difficult…   Tobias Hall did better, and Anna Wakitsch almost always got it.  But not always. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e2249b96ddb81c3511eb82/972ef1b0-a25b-408d-a790-57d5cdc64da7/drexel_07-1.jpg drexel We were able to manipulate the cadavers to some extent, propping up limbs and such for study as in this sketch. Also, by pulling the tendons it was possible to identify the action of certain muscles, which was especially useful with all the intricacies of the lower arm and hand anatomy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e2249b96ddb81c3511eb82/3727f3ec-0ce1-4e06-a60e-db728d70ca3b/drexel_08-4.jpg drexel There are so many tendons in the hand!  I think this oil painting I did that term of a cadaver hand gets across the complexity … https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e2249b96ddb81c3511eb82/e709657c-a20c-4c71-9e1f-2dfcae09f009/drexel_09-2.jpg drexel There were days at Drexel when no med students were around, and we had the lab to ourselves.  On those days we’d leave the overhead lights off and just light our subjects with spotlights set up at each station. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e2249b96ddb81c3511eb82/5820785e-2b66-46b2-8dd2-b54ab44dbe7f/drexel_10-1.jpg drexel A fountain pen sketch from Drexel.  The rib cages were cut into sections so that they could be easily removed for examining the internals.  The right half of the cadaver, with exposed rib cage and arm, was drawn here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e2249b96ddb81c3511eb82/b92bc2eb-8f73-433a-b4ca-208285595a41/drexel_11-1.jpg drexel The med students at Drexel studied the anatomy of the head after it had been separated from the body.  It was an intense thing to see but fascinating too, and this non-specific sketch tries to bring across that feeling.  We were also able to study the eyes independently. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e2249b96ddb81c3511eb82/04ccdb77-97d0-4c8f-ab8e-6190eb000e2c/drexel_12-2.jpg drexel This is the last of my sketches from Advanced Artistic Anatomy at Drexel University that I’ll publish here…  Thanks to Michael Grimaldi for teaching an amazing class and to Drs. Bruce Hirsch and Itzhak Fischer, and Theresa Connors of Drexel University College of Medicine for making it possible.   Tobias Hall,  Anna Wakitsch, Valerie Gilbert and I all found it a valuable experience.  And thanks to Shake Shack because that’s where we all had burgers after a hard days drawing in the lab. https://www.matthewalfonsodurante.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-08-26 https://www.matthewalfonsodurante.com/aboutcv daily 0.75 2021-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e2249b96ddb81c3511eb82/0cb20e45-bf7c-4618-8b01-94ce0a63d2aa/Me+2018.jpg about/cv - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.matthewalfonsodurante.com/newsletter daily 0.75 2024-08-26 https://www.matthewalfonsodurante.com/shop daily 0.75 2025-09-30 https://www.matthewalfonsodurante.com/shop/figure-studies monthly 0.5 2025-09-30 https://www.matthewalfonsodurante.com/shop/prints monthly 0.5 2025-09-25 https://www.matthewalfonsodurante.com/shop/p/figure-7-2018-print monthly 0.5 2025-09-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e2249b96ddb81c3511eb82/1639362013953-L5H5KOLIZC2VMI1613YD/7487.jpg shop - "Figure 7 2018" Limited Edition Print https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e2249b96ddb81c3511eb82/1639361999910-62F3ZQVLCIFCGHCVNTVV/7463.jpg shop - "Figure 7 2018" Limited Edition Print https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e2249b96ddb81c3511eb82/1639362014363-VUUIICU8LGDOE9DG0HLA/7472.jpg shop - "Figure 7 2018" Limited Edition Print https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e2249b96ddb81c3511eb82/1639368745653-BW2YPZ0WLKC3O7NP3XT1/7471.jpg shop - "Figure 7 2018" Limited Edition Print https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e2249b96ddb81c3511eb82/1639369218724-FQL3OHAH0R643AJD44VT/7454.jpg shop - "Figure 7 2018" Limited Edition Print https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e2249b96ddb81c3511eb82/1639362016228-WSZ1V5O2ZQ28P51QWUJ0/7519.jpg shop - "Figure 7 2018" Limited Edition Print https://www.matthewalfonsodurante.com/shop/p/summerstudy-1-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e2249b96ddb81c3511eb82/c8f897d4-3e37-4dda-925b-83b9afd0033f/SummerStudy_1_2025.jpg shop - "Summer Study 1 2025" - SummerStudy_1_2025.jpg https://www.matthewalfonsodurante.com/shop/p/summerstudy-2-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e2249b96ddb81c3511eb82/5430f9da-6005-4049-b079-6c6ed11b7cd8/SummerStudy_2_2025.jpg shop - "Summer Study 2 2025" - SummerStudy_2_2025.jpg https://www.matthewalfonsodurante.com/shop/p/summerstudy-3-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e2249b96ddb81c3511eb82/66f8080f-06ce-4e55-bb6d-703207a3391c/SummerStudy_3_2025.jpg shop - "Summer Study 3 2025" - SummerStudy_3_2025.jpg https://www.matthewalfonsodurante.com/shop/p/summerstudy-4-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e2249b96ddb81c3511eb82/f301b0e7-b4ef-49ad-b1df-27df1901a4a5/SummerStudy_4_2025.jpg shop - "Summer Study 4 2025" - SummerStudy_4_2025.jpg https://www.matthewalfonsodurante.com/shop/p/summerstudy-5-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e2249b96ddb81c3511eb82/15c2e2b5-e880-49c3-8df8-0203a7b42079/SummerStudy_5_2025.jpg shop - "Summer Study 5 2025" - SummerStudy_5_2025.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e2249b96ddb81c3511eb82/cc0c38e9-71a9-45dc-a568-d35f6d5649ed/SummerStudy_5_2025-rotated.jpg shop - "Summer Study 5 2025" - SummerStudy_5_2025-rotated.jpg
