target=\"_blank\"><em>Museworthy<\/em><\/a>, and it has been my honor to be the chosen photographer each year so far.\u00a0 This year we were seeking a new approach.\u00a0 Claudia had the idea of getting in low and close with the camera, treating the body as a landscape.\u00a0 She chose <a href=\"http:\/\/artmodel.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/09\/fredhatt-claudia-sept-2010-dsc_7742-cr2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">this sensual abstraction<\/a> for this year&#8217;s anniversary post.<\/p>\n<p>I love seeing the body this way.\u00a0 Unusual angles create perspective effects and unfamiliar juxtapositions, and utterly transform the familiar forms of the body.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drawmarvel.com\/chapters\/foreshortening.html\" target=\"_blank\">Foreshortening<\/a> is a fundamental concept in drawing, designating the distortion of long shapes when seen end-on.\u00a0 Often, in figure drawing, this refers only to an arm or leg that appears pointed toward the viewer of the image.\u00a0 A familiar example would be the pointing finger and arm of Uncle Sam in James Montgomery Flagg&#8217;s iconic <a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_rJlpaKLqs0c\/THVcoNQ4O5I\/AAAAAAAAAlQ\/gwwU2GcLFjU\/s1600\/Unclesamwantyou.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">army recruiting poster<\/a> of 1917.\u00a0 Here I post examples of my figure drawings in which not only the extremities but the entire body is seen from a foreshortened perspective.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the body from an angle close to the central axis is very helpful in understanding it as a three dimensional form.\u00a0 In these foreshortened torsos, we see the protuberances of the iliac spine of the pelvis rising to either side of the pubic bone.\u00a0 The abdomen is a saddle-like shape, concave in one direction and convex in the other.\u00a0 The ribcage is a converging arch.\u00a0 The pectoral or breast muscles show a continuity with the deltoid muscles of the shoulder.\u00a0 The upper of these drawings still shows analytical lines I drew to figure out the angular relationships of bodily landmarks.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1884\"

forms:\u00a0 the top of the skull, then the cheekbones and nose, the jaw, the collarbone, the shoulders, the chest, the ribs, the abdomen and pelvis.\u00a0 You can see it as a kind of architecture based on a series of differently shaped arches that you pass through or over, or as a landscape of hills and valleys that you can traverse on a meandering trail.\u00a0 From this angle the legs and

a series of focal points arranged along the central column of the body in a Yogic conception of energy anatomy.\u00a0 For example, the pelvis, corresponding to the water element, has the form of a
