Remember the Will Ferrell SNL skit “Sculpture Class”? Besides a good laugh, the skit might have also provided some inspiration to one medical school professor. Dr. Claudia Diaz, Professor of Anatomy at RMIT University, has incorporated art into her lessons by having students paint on a human body. She explains that having students paint the different tissues onto the body, they are learning through deep conditioning and changing their bad habits of memorizing textbook information. Watch the video to see how the body of student Zac O”Brien is transformed into an “Anatomical Man”, masterfully combining artistic inspiration and learning objectives. source
