Prosthetics

Eye•Ear•Nose: Prosthetics I ILLM.518/618

This course provides an introduction to the field of anaplastology, a branch of medicine dealing with the prosthetic replacement or correction of an absent, disfigured, or malformed anatomic structure, usually on the face or limbs. Focusing on maxillofacial prosthetics and ocular prosthetics (artificial eyes), students will create life masks on which orbitals, (containing artificial eyes), noses and ears can be modeled, cast and produced. The basic technical skills provide the introduction needed for an internship or apprenticeship in this field as well as for the special effects industry.
