Learn
anatomy through art! This up-and-coming series from ArtK12 provides a fun and
memorable overview of the human body through illustrated drawings, Latin
translations, light-hearted puns, cartoons, and more. The approach is
incremental, beginning with “the big picture” before adding the finer details,
color, and labeling. The course begins with an overview of vital and non-vital
organs before diving into the various human organs. Currently three books are
available: Find the Organs and two different editions of Draw the Human Body.
Draw the Human Body: Organs (with Reproductive Organs) and Draw the Human
Body: Organs (without Reproductive Organs). The content is identical, except
for the inclusion/exclusion of the reproductive organs section. In this
section, both male and female reproductive organs are accurately illustrated,
with a focus on their anatomical function. Included with your purchase is a PDF
download with a starter template for each drawing. These optional templates may
be helpful for younger learners, or anyone who needs more support to get
started. Students will need unlined paper, pencil, ruler, eraser, pen, and
colored pencils or crayons to complete the lessons.
Find the Organs meets
the needs of young learners (ages 2-6). In this age appropriate resource,
children will learn about 14 different organs through rhyming text and colorful
images. This is a well-done overview of the human body. The publisher is
planning to release Draw the Human Body: Skeletons and the
preschool companion, Find the Bones next year. I am excited to see
this new series develop!
