Basic Facial Reconstruction Sculpture Class
This introductory workshop takes a step-by-step approach to facial reconstruction on the skull for forensic identificaiton.
Students will study the placement and function of head and neck muscles, average tissue depths and more in order to recreate facial features. Each student will work on a casting of an actual human skull and apply plastilene clay. To coordinate the class, all participants are working on identical castings, which are for classroom use only. Facial reconstruction has museum and law enforcement applications and is useful to portrait sculptors and painters as well as forensic artists.
