Clay model

This is a clay model that is being constructed by adding the muscles of the human anatomy. Material being use to show muscle is clay. It was interesting modeling clay to shape the looks of the muscle. Some of the muscles added to the skeleton so far is the Spinalis cervices, Spinalis thoracis, Longissimus capuitis, Longissimus thoracis ( which are shown in the middle row on the right and side picture), Rectus abdominis, Obliquus externus abdominis, Transversus perinei profundus, and Anatomy Illustration ( Is shown in the bottom pic where the muscle is connected to the ribs. They are your ab muscles. There are other ones listed are in the pelvis region.) I have learned a ton on the different places were muscle connects to bone and how they cover the how skeleton. It was difficult sometimes constructing and figuring out where muscles go and how large or small they had to be. The best way i dealt with my frustration was getting help from others and taking breaks. I ran into problems in the hip and pelvis region but solved it by looking at others and how they had theirs. This i might do differently for next clay process would be taking my time and really looking at the photos and maybe grabbing other sources on the internet. Tips that i would give to others doing this process would be communicate with others around you if you are having troubles. In my drawings i will be really trying to get the muscle structure you show itself threw the flesh. While doing my process i just used my books, the teachers model, and other students pieces.
