Advanced Facial Reconstruction Sculpture Class
In this workshop, students apply the methodology learned in the basic workshop to a specific individual skull.
Students must be able to work independently to interpret soft tissue data with a minimum of individual help. Each student will learn neck anatomy and be expected to construct the armature for the neck and shoulders and to sculpt features using data provided. Unique plaster skull casts will be supplied for class-room use only.
When reconstruction is completed, a photograph of the individual in life will be shown. In the last exercise, participants will advance the age of their individual sculpture after learning aging techniques. Knowledge of facial aging has many applications and three-dimensional age progression has been used in cases of long-term missing persons and fugitives.
