Description
ARTNATOMYA is an interactive tool intended to facilitate the teaching and learning of the anatomical and biomechanical foundation of facial expression morphology.
Oriented to artists, pschicologists, plastics surgeons, coaches, actors. The primary goal is to provide the student and those interested, a convenient reference 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, 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 real time 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 etc. Additionally this digital presentation tool provides a complete supporting document solution for those institutions not equipped with such resources.

Ratings and Reviews
INCOMPLETE
The idea for this app is great which is why I gave it 4 stars. Hopefully the developers will improve it because it is lacking a lot of key information at this point.
The bulk of this app is an interface that allows you select muscles, muscle actions, and facial expressions from vertical columns and a drawing of a face which will change based on which muscle action or expression you choose. You can choose actions and create your own custom expressions.
Selecting a muscle highlights in red actions and expressions that use it. And the same thing if you select an action or expression. Unfortunately, the highlights are not complete and many things are left out. For instance mentalis does not highlight sadness despite being the “crying muscle.”
Even worse is that many muscle actions are not included, making it impossible to make many expressions, including basic expressions. There is no open surprised mouth. No triangular fear mouth. No crying mouth with mentalis bulge. No crescent joy eyes. No squinting eyes. There is no distinct brow for fear or sadness, just a generalized “brow of distress.” Most of the actions are extreme forms, so not many subtle expressions are possible.
The translation from Spanish is also poor, but this is a minor issue since the app is mainly visual.
Despite these complaints the app is good for what it does include although I think it is overpriced at this level of incompleteness.
