Instructify

I’ve been trying to learn to draw faces since I was a kid, but I’ve never quite had the knack. Then again, I have never had an anatomy lesson either. Artnatomia is just the type of resource that is perfect for budding artists and anyone who has an interest in understanding the anatomy of the human face. Not only that, its developer boasts the application’s uses for worlds of psychology, in that it can help to understand emotions more accurately. He also notes that it can be valuable for anyone else from dermatologists to actors.

I can believe it, too, as the tool is an in-depth exploration into every muscle in the human face. You’ll never think of your mug in the same way again once you see how many muscles move to create any given facial expression. Each set of muscles listed has information available for the etymology, situation (area of the face), shape, actions, and expression. It’s a helpful tool when it comes to drawing and sketching, as it also allows you to choose the transparency of the muscular and skeletal structures. This could be a great way for your students to learn about the anatomy of the face, while learning which muscles are necessary to make certain facial expressions. More importantly, this could be a helpful tool in understanding emotions in expression in order to find better ways to teach special needs students, such as those who struggle with autism. -JEREMY S.
