Description:
Does art speak to you? Are you tired of learning anatomy just by reading books? Take a closer look into the human body in this new workshop designed to change the way you look at anatomy.
Knowing and mastering the anatomy of the human body is key for medical students. When they are in the process of observing and analysing the internal systems, the use of visual models is essential to reinforce learning, understanding and memorising information. In such context, Brains Out: Drawing through augmented reality models is a workshop that promotes a journey through the anatomical structures of the brain, based on the use of augmented reality models that favor the visualization of new three-dimensional perspectives. The possibility of observing and manipulating the brain using a tablet application invites students to understand more deeply a set of theoretical and practical concepts that can be consolidated through the exercise of drawing. In the complementary action between the observation of three-dimensional models and the challenge of representation, the introduction of digital drawing will make it possible to address different visualization techniques and information synthesis to explore new learning processes and knowledge acquisition. Following a path that begins with the discovery of the brain and culminates with the experience of drawing, the aim of the workshop is to provide students with tools and study methods that can be useful during their medical training.
