Medical art workshops
We will be running a number of traditional art and digital workshops over 2019. The aim is to train not only students of the MAET, but also working medical illustrators and artists who want to update their skills or try something new. We hope these workshops will bring together professionals and students, developing their skills in anatomy and art
January 18th 2019: Exploring the traditional technique of Carbon Dust with Joanna Cameron
A one-day workshop will be held at the Gordon Museum, exploring the traditional working method of carbon dust. Pioneered by Max Brodel during the early 1900’s, Max Brodel is considered the father of medical illustration in this field. This traditional method encourages classical observational drawing skills and the technique creates grey-scale tonal artworks, which were and still are ideally suited to black and white printing.
The workshop will run from 10.30am to 5pm. A board, paper and carbon dust will be supplied. Please bring with you a selection of your own paintbrushes and pencils to this event.

This course will not only teach wax modeling techniques but the anatomy of the hand, origin and insertion points of ligaments and muscles and how to think 3 dimensionally.
