Training and Courses

Forensic Art On-line Workshops
Instructor: Stephen Mancusi

These online programs are designed as introduction , intermediate and advanced workshops. They will improve the drawing skills of the artist and help them achieve a quality forensic art drawing. The training is presented through the completion of specific sketching assignments and the instructor's comments. These training critiques are offered according to the level of experience of the individual student artist. This is done with personalized video emails or webcam communications. Through these assignments and evaluations, the beginner artist will obtain the required fundamental forensic art skills and the practicing forensic artist will improve his or her working skills. The workshops will also introduce the artist to the necessary concepts needed to conduct a police composite session and to execute other forensic art disciplines. The topics and assignments are presented as video lectures or demonstrations. (sample videos) Students will be furnished with all necessary printed and presentation materials. An on-line virtual classroom will be setup for students to compare and view assignments completed by others.

At the end of the workshops and depending on the student's previous experience, the student artist will possess new insights and abilities that are needed to develop effective composite sketches. Upon successfully finishing a program, the artist will receive a Certificate of Completion.

Presently, there are four Online Forensic Art Workshops available.
