ARTNATOMY
The work has been chosen as a finalist (in Educational Category) for the 15th 
Flashforward Film Festival (an online competition and live awards ceremony 
showcasing and celebrating the best work on the Web). Winners in all 
categories plus the "People's Choice" award will be announced at the awards 
ceremony on March 1 during the Flashforward2006 Seattle Conference at the 
Washington State Convention and Trade Center.

Application overview.
This resource has been designed and constructed to exploit digital 
technology in the context of Fine Art anatomical study. It is intended to 
facilitate the teaching and learning the anatomical and biomechanical 
foundation of facial expression morphology. The presentation of the material 
takes advantage of digital animation, interactivity and multimedia presentation 
techniques as the means to facilitate visual understanding and learning.

The primary goal is to provide the student and those interested, a convenient 
referance tool, facilitating familiarity and experimentation with the underlying 
anatomical structures using correct biomechanical representation of the 
different facial expressions.

The task of the professor is also facilitated by the use of an expandable 
animated image (employing a projector connected to the computer), in 
addition interaction (controlled by the professor or students) is multifunctional; 
since the different levels and independent functions allow connection of the 
application contents to any educational program, providing realtime delivery 
of examples to the student.

This is a compact tool, providing a basis for dealing with potential problems 
related to the proper representation of facial expression, eliminating the need 
for cumbersome teaching aids such as; slides and photocopies et. 
Additionally this digital presentation tool provides a complete supporting 
document solution for those institutions not equipped with such resources.
