# What is the AnatomyArchive?

### **The Concept**

<span style="color: rgb(170, 170, 170); background-color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">The AnatomyArchive is collaborative just like </span>**Wikipedia,**<span style="color: rgb(170, 170, 170); background-color: rgb(34, 34, 34);"> which means you can </span>**create your own pages** <span style="color: rgb(170, 170, 170); background-color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">and </span>**study other pages.**  
<span style="color: rgb(170, 170, 170); background-color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">(</span>*page* <span style="color: rgb(170, 170, 170); background-color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">just means </span>*article*<span style="color: rgb(170, 170, 170); background-color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">)</span>

### **How AnatomyArchive will Improve Your Art**

1\. By **Teaching** others (creating a page that others will look at) **YOU** will actually gain the most knowledge!  
I realized this when tutoring some kids, and now im using this hack to make yall better artists :)  
Therefore the slogan **'Learning by Teaching'**

2\. Over time AnatomyArchive will become a **reference book**, that you can flip open anytime!  
Perfect for keeping you company while making art.

#### **The Vision**

I wanted to create a learning website for artists that is **free of distracting ads** and even more importantly **free of paywalls**. Basically no distractions, straight to the point -&gt; Art  
Many times I found a cool website with useful information, only for it to be locked behind a subscription or similar. I think that's the trend right now and it's a little annoying. Let's change that with AnatomyArchive!  
  
Supporting individual artists, if you like what they do, is of course appreciated, but the overall theme of this website is <u>free</u>.

#### **The 'free to use' aspect**

At the core this website is a source of information, so an easy way to spread this information is just as important. There should't be a big problem using any of this site's knowledge - here are my thoughts:  
I saw a few of my professors at university cite Wikipedia in their presentations and I thought it would be cool if there would be a library for art teachers. I like the idea of learning with the AnatomyArchive for yourself but helping others improve sounds just as good. Thus I want to make it easy for anybody to use the content of this website for teaching and similar purposes. Doesn't matter if you just want to use a page you created yourself or the page of another creator.

I tried to implement this into the rules of this website by making all content free to use\*, more about that in the [Terms of Use](https://www.anatomyarchive.org/books/about-the-anatomyarchive/page/terms-of-use "Terms of Use").
