Last night we left the BODY WORLDS 3 gallery open extra late for a group of young artists. Most of them were art students, many of them in high school, who spent several hours with pencils and sketch pads in hand composing in different areas of the gallery. The after hours event was a rare opportunity for student artists to get uninterrupted time with the specimens on display at BODY WORLDS 3. Additionally, we arranged to have several living models in the gallery for figure drawing. The models held poses to juxtapose themselves with various full body specimens.

Later as the artists emerged from the gallery with their sketches we took digital images of their best work. As part of an online art contest we are posting their sketches on our site where they can be openly viewed and voted on. Artists who get the most favorable votes will win a prize. You can check out their sketches here.

If you're an artist and want the chance to make some sketches in the BODY WORLDS gallery, we'll be holding another sketch night session on November 5th, from 7 to 10 p.m. And next time promises to be captivating and lively, because our live models will be in the NUDE! Please buy some tickets and join us that night. If you're interested or have any questions, call us at 937-4221.
