Decades ago, artist and anatomist Jon Zahourek was already exploring a powerful idea: 👉 To truly understand the human body, you must understand the forces acting on it.

In this classic video, Jon dives into one of the most fundamental concepts in anatomy and the universe itself—gravity. Through the ANATOMY IN CLAY® Learning System, gravity isn’t just explained… it’s experienced as learners build the human form and see how structure, balance, and force work together.

Some lessons never age—because they’re built on fundamentals.

🎥 Watch the throwback and rediscover the principles that still shape how anatomy is taught today.

As we close out another year with Anatomy in Clay® Learning System we’re grateful for a truly inspiring season of learning, curiosity, and growth. This past year was filled with thoughtful exploration of the human and animal anatomy—hands-on learning, minds engaged, and a shared commitment to understanding anatomy from the inside out.

We’ve watched students deepen their knowledge of structure, movement, and proportion, gaining insights that extend far beyond the classroom. It’s been a year defined by focus, craftsmanship, and a genuine love for learning anatomy in a tangible, meaningful way.

Looking ahead to 2026, we’re excited for what’s to come. We have several new offerings in the works—designed to deepen the learning experience, expand access, and continue pushing Anatomy in Clay® Learning System forward as a trusted, hands-on approach to anatomical study.

Thank you to everyone who made this year so special—students, instructors, and supporters alike. We can’t wait to build on this momentum and continue shaping understanding together in 2026.
