Great Big Story is a video network dedicated to the untold, overlooked & flat-out amazing. Humans are capable of incredible things & we're here to tell their stories. When a rocket lands in your backyard, you get in.
Such heart and soul,, combined with your gift as a sculptor, make your work precious to everyone.
This is the first time that art can rescue lives not just expressing emotions and creativity
I would love to do this!
tissue depth markings along the face of the skull, and the race/sex can be identified by an anthropologist. They have been building a data base of tissue depth markings since the sixties of all races ages weight etc to make the sculpture/drawing more accurate
mistanix Yes very true. But nonetheless things like ears and tip of the nose for example, that once had cartilage, are now lost so it is a bit of a gray area that gets lost and is let free for a bit of imagination.
Brilliant work.
Great story-amazing work at the Art Academy!!!
Wow i wish I can do that
Marvelous work!!
This is so wonderful to do
Amazing!
Please give me more information of where to start. Thanks.
What is the country
how they exactly know these are actual face of these people
plgfffgggggf#fhhhhgfffftttzujo
I guess most facial features can be deduced from the exact shape of the underlying skull, as well as the age, gender and race of the person. (all of which can be known from the skeleton and from genetic testing).
Thats pretty much also the fields of anthropology.
Skin color - I know this is not done for police cases. For anthropology - what information do sculptors refer too? They must use some data to create skin color?
different ethnic backgrounds have different facial structures, even if the differences are slight. they usually base the skin color off of the ethnic background .
@@user-sk1vr3bs7j ethnicity - the fact or state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition. Ethnicity has to do with culture. You mean race - correct? For sculpting, there have been studies for the tissue depth markers for a few larger racial groups, but what I see for skin color, maybe 9 big variations? Just wondering what the approach to color would be like. What is the thinking process... I've read a few books, and nobody seems to discuss this other than saying something like "be wary"
@@nickpatterson7048 i don't like to use the word race, but yeah, you got my point. i still have yet to learn on this subject, but from what i've seen its an assumption based on "racial" backgrounds. have a good day/night!
Hell ya, teacher showing great big story in class :D, oh no nvm it’s a boring episode
I'm not convinced these recreations are correct. Any kind of a face is possible from a skull found from 2oo years ago or more. How can you verify your skills are correct without a picture of that individual ? I would like a RECREATION made of a person in current history that we can provide a photograph and verify the reproduction was correct. Then I will believe this method works all the time.
I understand those are recent cases, though. So... as bodies are identified through this, it should be the proof you seek. No?
Then stay unconvinced.
They look at old photos, family bckgrounds,
These sculptures are more of an approximation of what the person looked like. Depending on what information is received from the sites the remains were found, the sculptures themselves are at best the closest guess of what the person looked like. It's not an exact science but these sculptures along with forensic drawings have helped identify missing people and bring closure to families and next of kin. The artist has to put aside creative license and work using a knowledge of human anatomy. Each skull is different and will help in bringing the best approximation.
