The cognitive aim is to broad the knowledge of human anatomy with particular emphasis on those anatomical structures that have a significant impact on his artistic visuals.
The scope of material includes general and specific aspects.

Expected effect in scope of skills is aware use of gained knowledge in practical, drawn part of the subject (aspects, which are discussed in lectures in Cathedral of Anatomy of Medical University of Gdańsk are the basis for practice in Workshop of Anatomical Drawing in ASP, students are working on realistic drawing tasks, which have to comply with the workshop conditions), during carrying out with tasks in artistic workshops in Academy and in students artistic future.

The subject of artistic anatomy and anatomical drawing exercises is a description and knowledge of human body in the context of its external and internal build [especially skeleton and muscles], shape and proportion. The interest is focused on those anatomical structures, which significantly affects the shape of human body and are the basis of its form in repose position as well as in different stages of motion.

Practical classes are filling up theoretical lectures.

Subject is realized by lectures and practice studio. Lectures are leaded in cathedral of anatomy of Gdańsk Medical University.
It gives the opportunity for lecturer and students to use proper didactic aids as skeleton models and dissecting preparations.
Some of the problems connected with anatomy are solved by students drawings with use of above-mentioned, sometimes unique didactic material.
The topics covered in the lectures are the basis for classes conducted in the studio of Anatomical Drawing of Academy. Students are preparing realistic drawing studios with all requirements of workshop.

General issues: plan of human body build, body parts, marking planes and directions in space, symmetry and asymmetry of the body, body proportions and its changes in the process of growth, sexual dimorphism, morphological differences related to individual age, constitutional types, racial diversity of the human species.
