Four Lessons in Anatomy
Koski Kaisu
The work explores the visual culture of medicine and the role of drawings in anatomy teaching. The medical students and teachers of the University of Alberta draw on paper the visual parameters of skin, heart, lung, bones, and female reproductive organs. The lessons are personal forms of expression that contrast with anonymous, standardized diagrams in anatomy books. Some of the lessons’ elements are deconstructed to highlight the terminology and the choreography of the drawing process.
