Art Museum

From the museum describe how two different art periods portrayed the human body How has anatomy influenced art and art influenced anatomy?

In 1860's they portray the human body as stiff and unmovable. They are also very dark and gothic. But Greek art they portray the body as muscular and naked.  In 1945 they depict the human body as seductive and dreamy. It is more realistic but of course it is because in the 1945 they had more modern equipment to show the art.  It is a photo portrait rather than a painted portrait which they would do in 1860's. In Greek art they would do mostly sculptors and obviously they did not have cameras to take a picture.

Skull & Bone Differences

Caucasoid:
Skull-the nose has a high peaked nasal, the teeth are big, the eye sockets are very round at the outer part and the mandibular ramus is sharp, the occipital & parietal bone is round and not as big as the black american.

American Black:
Skull- low and broad nasal, occipital & parietal bone is long and narrower than the caucasoid, the eye sockets are round and the bigger than the caucasoid, the madibular ramus is a lot bigger than the caucasoid and the teeth are bigger as well, the saggital outline is enlongated.

Asian:
Skull: the eye sockets look like a roundish square, the nasal is pointy and narrow on top, the teeth are smaller than the caucasoid and black american, the occipital and parietal bones are smaller than the other two, the mandibular ramus is thick and shorten.

BONES:
Shoulder & Arm- the humerus, clavicle, and ulna are long bones and the scapula is flat with ridges.

Vertebrae- the axis looks like a crown with the point on the top and how it makes a circle, the thoracic1 looks like a bulls skull with the horns, the thoracic 10 reminds me of a pig and the lumbar 5 has a big oval shape connected with two horn like bones and pointy bone.

Rib Cage- left rib 1 looks like a C with a sharp curve, rib 2 looks like a round C, rib 12 looks more striaght with a slight curve and the sternum reminds me of a dress.

Hand & Wrist-all very small but some a longer than others, while some are closer to looking like a squareish circle
