The Academy of Art University prides itself on its ability to listen to student demands - so listen up! We, the signed, would like to ask the AAU to provide a 1 day, 3 hour FREE workshop that focuses on the anatomy of the human body, or specifically, the dramatic differences between average human beings to someone who hones their body on a day-to-day basis. As art students, we are lucky to get the opportunity to draw various body types every day. However, we have yet to have someone in supreme athletic shape. This workshop would benefit all students, as emphasis on anatomy would be essential. To see each muscle so well defined will help bridge the gap between studying and understanding. This workshop would be suggested to students currently enrolled in any anatomy class. This workshop would also benefit comic artists, in whose jobs may entail drawing beings with supernatural strength and build. Seeing a body-builder in real life, with the possibility to take photos being discussed in further once petition is complete, will be a learning experience for everyone involved. Please AAU, with these signatures, understand your student's want, and possible need, to get a drawing workshop with body-builders!

The momentum behind this request for an anatomy workshop has become undeniable. It is clear that the student body recognizes the unique value of studying complex musculature in a practical setting. We are prepared to present this collective interest to the administration.

This would be so helpful for my figure drawing class. The regular models are great but we really need to see defined muscle groups up close to get the proportions right.

Yes please!! finding live references for muscular anatomy is so hard unless you just use google images. seeing it in person would be a game changer for my portfolio.
