# What is the AnatomyArchive?

### **The Concept**

<span style="color: rgb(170, 170, 170); background-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); white-space: pre-wrap;">The AnatomyArchive is collaborative just like </span>**Wikipedia,**<span style="color: rgb(170, 170, 170); background-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); white-space: pre-wrap;"> which means you can </span>**create your own pages** <span style="color: rgb(170, 170, 170); background-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); white-space: pre-wrap;">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); white-space: pre-wrap;">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.**<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> By </span>**Teaching**<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> others (creating a page that others will look at) </span>**YOU**<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> will actually gain the most knowledge!</span>  
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.**<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> Over time AnatomyArchive will become a </span>**reference book**, that you can flip open anytime!  
Perfect for keeping you company while making art.

#### **The Vision**

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I wanted to create a learning website for artists that is </span>**free of distracting ads**<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> and even more importantly </span>**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!  
  
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Supporting individual artists, if you like what they do, is of course appreciated, but the overall theme of this website is </span><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.

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