Renowned artist/anatomist Eliot Goldfinger
to explore muscular basis of facial expressions
Most anyone can identify the six basic facial expressions—happiness, sadness, surprise, fear, anger and disgust.
However, artist/anatomist Eliot Goldfinger can guide you through the muscles, bones and flesh and demonstrate how their intricate mechanics create those expressions.
Goldfinger, author of "Human Anatomy for Artists: The Elements of Form" and "Animal Anatomy for Artists: The Elements of Form" (both Oxford University Press), presents "Anatomy of the Face and Facial Expression."
Goldfinger, who has taught anatomy for artists at the New York Academy of Art and the Art Student’s League in New York City, will describe the individual facial muscles, showing their origins and insertions and their effects on the face. He will then show how their contractions, alone or in combination with other facial muscles, create facial expressions.
