Description: drawing. Facial muscles and facial aging will be reviewed as preparation for exercises in adult facial update drawing (used in cases of fugitives missing for a period of years). The remainder of the class will deal with drawings to aid in the identification of physical remains, including postmortem drawings from photographs of bodies of deceased persons. Two-dimensional facial reconstruction will also be covered utilizing skull photographs, both frontal and profile. Upon completion of each postmortem drawing and facial reconstruction exercise, students will view a photograph of the person in life for comparison, providing the effect of actual case experience. Karen T. Taylor’s book, Forensic Art and Illustration will be used during this class.

Description: The commonly accepted reason for drawing is a pictorial representation. This workshop is about understanding that reason- living it through a line or tone that you push and pull through the touch and texture of the paper. Drawing is a mode of expression, a realization of an idea that cannot be put into words. To draw is to enjoy. To draw is to understand. To draw is not in any way to copy reality, but rather to create your own. You can use pencil, chalk, charcoal, brush, stick, anything that leaves a mark on paper. What matters is what you are doing on the paper, not how it gets there. Wrap your mind around the form, space, composition, tone, line and mood. The pleasure is in the process.
