REPRESENTING BODIES

drawing by Sarah Simblet, a graphic artist, writer and broadcaster, 


Representing Bodies is run by Maryanne Coutts, and will look at ways that museums’ collections reflect our experiences of inhabiting physical bodies. Taking two opposing points of view; art and science, it asks you to use drawing to reflect on both subjective and objective ways of thinking about the human form. This will involve finding relationships between representations of figures in the Art Gallery of New South Wales and the archives of the J. T Wilson Museum of Human Anatomy at Sydney University. Students will be encouraged to consider material, cultural and social perceptions of our own physicality.
