Restorative Art
Intro
| Restorative Art | The care of the deceased to recreate a natural form and color |
| Form | Refers to the shape of a structure which is recognizable by its outline and surface movement |
| 3 Dimensions in Restorative Art | 1. Length 2. Width 3. Projection |
| Color | The light reflected from the surface |
| The objectives of Restorative Art | the psychological effect and professional responsibility |
| the first to practice RA | Egyptians |
| RA in the 13th and 14th Centuries | much like the Egyptians, Everything was removed and dried in liquid vats, Bodies were not presentable |
| Renaissance Period | First to use death masks and they were only used for VIPs |
| when did RA start in the US | after the Civil War |
| developed a preservative technique so a person could be sent home | Thomas Holmes |
| First RA methods | Plastic Surgery Plaster of Paris Sculpture’s Clay Window Putty Cotton |
| When were Embalming chemicals with Formaldehyde invented | Early 20th century |
| Invented RA as we know it today; He required a picture, hard tissue, time, concealed stitches, and corrective surgery | Joel E Crandall |
| Dermi-Surgery | the art of building or recreating part of the body which has been destroyed. |
| J Spears | (1940’s) • Dental Plastic Surgeon • Taught at Gupton-Jones in Nashville • Made a mold of family member’s features • Published photos of cases done by Crandall and himself which inspired others to begin performing RA |
| Minor RA | Requires minimal effort, skill, or time; Includes tissue building, waxing, reducing swelling, and bleaching |
| Major RA | Requires long period of time, technical skills, written permission, and is extensive |
| Pre-Embalming Treatments | Corrective alignment of features o Setting features o Correct broken limbs Temporary Suturing-Such as surgical incisions Creating support for structures-Such as crushed bones |
| Embalming Treatments | • Coloring; Such as cosmetics or dyes in the embalming fluid • Maintaining the pre-embalming corrections • Limiting swelling; Such as applying pressure on certain areas or watching rate of flow during embalming |
| Post-Embalming Treatments | • Scab Removal • Tissue excision • Suturing/adhesives • Hypo tissue building • Waxing and Cosmetics • Attachment of parts- such as an arm or leg |
| Physiognomy | the study of the structures and surface markings of the face and features |
| Physiognomy | From this a norm can be established |
| Norm | the most common characteristic of each feature of the face • Typical, common or average • By seeing them, we can establish deviations |
| Asymmetry | Differences in paired features; lack of symmetry, balance, or proportions |
| the ears | Where is the greatest variation in symmetry |
| Anatomical Position | the person is standing erect, facing forward, with their palms facing forward |
| Anterior | front |
| Posterior | back |
| superior | above |
| inferior | below |
| medial | middle; closer to the midline |
| Lateral | outside/ further from the midline |
| Bi-Lateral | Looking at both sides at one time |
| Plane | a surface having very little curve (convexity); a level |
| Median Plane | Divides head into two sides (left and right) |
| Horizontal Plane | Cuts across the median plane at right angles to afford various levels of comparison of structural proportions; runs right to left. |
| Oblique Plane | slanted or inclined; neither perpendicular nor horizontal |
| Inclination | A line that is sloped or oblique |
| Projection | Determines how much a person or an object projects out from its surrounding objects |
| Prominence | how prominent a person’s nose or ears are; are they bigger than normal |
| Concave | depression of an area |
| Convex | Protrusion of an area |
