If you love SFX Makeup or creating wounds with makeup or marker, or are a cosplayer and want to add techniques to your makeup arsenal, then this is the class for you! In Advanced Special FX, we will be creating more detailed gory looks, such as a massive gash or a missing eye or burn and learning how to make it look like you have pieces of glass (we use plastic pieces) or a playing card sticking out of you! This two-day class is perfect for Cosplay, Theater, Film, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Halloween, or just having fun at home! On Day1: Students will learn an advanced special fx design involving liquid latex or glue and flour, cotton or cotton pads or paper towel, coffee grounds, fake blood, foundation, and makeup in shades of red, black, dark purple. And don't forget a blowdryer! On Day 2: Students will get to create a look involving something sticking out of a wound, like plastic (to represent glass) or pieces of cardboard, playing card, or bits of a plastic fork, etc. They will be using all the items used on the previous day, too! They will be given a prompt at the end of the previous class to create a backstory to go with this look, encouraging storytelling and creativity!
Learning Goals
Students will learn to create more advanced special effects gore makeup looks using basic special effects makeup and even household supplies.
