Happy New Year!
Facial reconstruction has been in the news quite a bit – from its use in cold cases to examination of historical figures such as Robert the Bruce and King Tut. How is it done? Join us in welcoming forensic artist Catyana Skory Falsetti, who will discuss not only facial reconstructions, but all aspects of forensic art, including composite sketches (and how they are affected by perception and memory), post-mortem images and image clarification. Learn about the foundations for forensic art, where it’s going, and what a forensic artist is and is not able to do.
We’ll have a delicious lunch, and a fun book drawing.
In our afternoon session, Becky Masterman will present “Never Let the Facts Get in the Way of a Good Story.” You’ve done your research, have gathered all your information, and you’re determined not to let it go to waste. But when are details useful to your narrative, and when do they bog it down? Masterman will discuss the art of the detail, and when making stuff up is the best way to delight the reader.
