A Digital Composite Sketch Tool for Your Classroom

Looking for a simple way to introduce composite sketching in your Forensic Science class? FlashFaceFull is a browser-based composite sketch tool that turns the classic police sketch workflow into an activity any Forensic Science class can run today.

Students create digital portraits by exploring different facial features — hair, eyes, noses, eyebrows, mouths, beards, and glasses — then drag each part into position, rescale it, and adjust its opacity until the face matches the description they were given.

That makes it easy to visualize fictional witness descriptions, create suspect composite sketches, and show your students how two people hearing the same eyewitness account can produce very different results — one of the most important lessons in forensic science.

Explore Facial Features

Students explore hair, eyes, noses, eyebrows, mouths, beards, and glasses one feature at a time — the same facial-detail vocabulary used in real forensic art, rebuilt for your Forensic Science class.

Create Composite Sketches

Turn a fictional eyewitness description into a digital composite sketch that students can refine, compare, and export as an image to hand in or discuss.

Learn by Doing

A hands-on forensic art activity that fits a single lesson: no software to install, no accounts for students, and nothing to prepare before your Forensic Science classes start.

The classroom case

What Is a Forensic Science Composite Sketch Tool?

In real investigations, a forensic artist sits with an eyewitness and assembles a composite sketch piece by piece — face shape, hair, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth — because human memory recalls features far better than it recalls whole faces. Forensic Science classes teach this workflow with paper worksheets or stock photo books, which takes time and gives students little to show for it.

FlashFaceFull is the digital version of that workflow, made usable for Forensic Science classes in a single lesson. Students receive a written description of a fictional person, choose from hundreds of facial features, and immediately see the composite sketch take shape on one canvas. Every choice is visible and reversible: swap a nose, move an eyebrow, resize a jaw — and the sketch changes with them.

Because the tool runs in the browser, it works on the devices your Forensic Science classes actually have: school Chromebooks, lab desktops, tablets, and phones. One link is the entire setup. Students who finish early can export their sketch as an image, and you can collect printed or projected results for the discussion phase.

One lesson, three steps

How Teachers Can Use FlashFaceFull

A ready-made structure for your Forensic Science classes — no lesson plan to write and no prep to do. Run it as a single activity or build a full composite-sketching lesson around it.

Introduce a Fictional Case

Open your Forensic Science class with a fictional scenario and a short written description of a person seen at the scene. The suspect stays imaginary — the lesson is the process.

Create a Composite Sketch

Students use FlashFaceFull in the browser to explore facial features and build a digital composite sketch from the eyewitness description, adjusting placement, proportions, and opacity.

Compare and Discuss

Line up the finished sketches from your Forensic Science class and discuss why the same eyewitness description produced different composite sketches — the core lesson of forensic art.

A composite sketch is an investigative aid, not proof of identity. All classroom activities on this page use fictional cases and characters.

Forensic Science Activities for High School Classrooms

Three composite sketch activities that have worked well in Forensic Science classes. Each one uses the same free tool — only the instructions change.

Eyewitness Testimony Lab

One student receives a secret description of a fictional person and acts as the eyewitness; the rest of your Forensic Science class builds the composite sketch from their testimony alone. Students see firsthand how memory, wording, and questioning shape a sketch.

Same Description, Different Sketches

Every student in your Forensic Science classes works from the identical written witness description, then you compare all the results side by side. The variation across the room becomes a discussion about interpretation, bias, and why a composite sketch is an investigative aid, not proof.

Sketch Under Time Pressure

Real forensic artists rarely get unlimited time with a witness. Give your class a timed round to build a usable composite sketch in ten minutes, then debrief what details students dropped, guessed, or invented under pressure.

Safe for school use

Simple, Browser-Based, and Privacy-Conscious

No Downloads

FlashFaceFull runs directly in your web browser over an encrypted HTTPS connection. There is no software to install or download, no browser plugin, and it opens fine on school Chromebooks and lab computers.

Your Portraits Stay in the Browser

We don't store the personal information used to create your portraits. Every composite sketch is assembled on each student's own device and is never uploaded to our servers unless a student chooses to share it.

Easy to Try

Students open one link and start sketching. No complicated setup, no accounts, and no admin involvement — which makes it practical for a single Forensic Science class period.

Designed for a simple, browser-based experience with privacy in mind. The site runs entirely over HTTPS, payments are processed by Stripe, and we never see or store card details. Read our Privacy Policy for the full picture.

Teacher questions

Forensic Science Classes — FAQ

What is a composite sketch in forensic science?

A composite sketch is a drawing of a person's face assembled from an eyewitness description, traditionally made by a forensic artist working with a witness. In Forensic Science classes, students recreate this workflow digitally: they read a witness description, choose matching facial features, and produce a composite sketch of a fictional suspect.

How do I run a composite sketch activity in my Forensic Science class?

Share the page link with students, hand out a short written description of a fictional person, and let each student build a digital composite sketch in the browser. Most Forensic Science classes finish a sketch plus a compare-and-discuss round inside one lesson period — no lab setup, installs, or accounts required.

Do my students need to install software or create accounts?

No. FlashFaceFull runs entirely in the browser over HTTPS. Students do not download anything, and no account or sign-up is needed to use the free facial features, so a whole Forensic Science class can start from a single link.

Is FlashFaceFull safe for classroom use?

The game is developed and hosted by us — it is not a third-party embed — and everything happens in the browser. Nothing is installed on school devices, student portraits are never uploaded, and the site runs over encrypted HTTPS. Optional purchases are handled by Stripe, and we never see card details. Our Privacy Policy explains exactly what little data exists.

Can I get access for my entire Forensic Science class of 28 or more students?

Yes. Email support@flashfacefull.app with your class size and what you plan to run, and we will arrange full-class access for your Forensic Science classes. A real person replies — there is no licensing portal to fight with, and payment is a simple one-time purchase handled securely.

Whole-class access

Using FlashFaceFull with an Entire Class?

If you're planning to use FlashFaceFull with a whole group of students, we can help arrange access for your Forensic Science classes. Whether you're preparing a one-day forensic art activity or a semester of eyewitness composite sketching, contact us to discuss access for your students — a real person will reply and help you set it up.
