why do we study human anatomy?

Question

in school, artists are made to study human anatomy intsead of other anatomies, why is it important?

Answer 1

For the simple reason that artists, theoretically, have to deal more with human forms than others. It is a kind of two hits with one shot. Not only you learn how to correctly draw a human body, but you also learn about proportions, forms and variations. Once these techniques are mastered, they can be applied to any other kind of drawing quite easily.
