Art and Science blend with the field of Forensic Art. Learners will learn about composite art, learn about interview techniques and will get to create their own composite drawing based on an interview with teacher "witness"
Class experience
Composite Art is a technique of creating a sketch of an unknown subject from individually described parts to create a single graphic image. It is intended to be a likeness or similarity of a victim or witness's perception of the subject at the time the subject was seen.

Between 2015-2016 I attended the University of Dundee Scotland completing a degree in Forensic Art and Facial Identification. Completing this masters degree at the time I was one of less then 100 degree certified Forensic Artists. The field continues to grow. After I got my degree in Art History with the hope to enter the museum field to use reconstructions as a method of learning and making museums more engaging. The pandemic pushed me more into teaching (Thanks Outschool) but I am hoping to share my passion here and help students find another option for futures connecting art and science.
Drawing materials- Paper, pencils, eraser. Please come prepared, the class will not wait as learners gather supplies. Pens are not suitable for forensic art where a witness might decide the eye shape is different, or a feature should be higher, or smaller.
Composite art is connected to crime. In this class there are no crimes only "Suspects" no one is guilty of more then being well known in society today. Celebrities are picked based on teachers knowledge (American) and can include film and TV stars, political leaders, well known activists, and news hosts.
Samantha Steinberg's Ethnicities Catalog, Dundee Forensic art and facial identification masters degree (completed 2016), multiple years experience and training courses to improve interview techniques and knowledge.
