During this class we will develop skills to be able to recreate a special effects makeup look suitable for theatre productions, Halloween, or to impress friends with your new skills. Over the four weeks we will learn how to create our own scar wax, layer colors, and textures to create basic cuts, bruising, scars, burns and peeling skin. We will be using glue and tissue paper (instead of liquid latex) to create some of the looks. Please ensure you have done a patch test to ensure you are comfortable using the glue on your skin. During the final week, the teacher will also give a brief for a theatre shoot; for example the person on set got into a car crash and they got a small cut on their right eye and a graze on the chin. The learners will then have the opportunity to put their learned skills to the test in this new challenge.
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to create some real life cuts and bruises that could occur during incidents. Putting their skills to the test and recreating a theatre style brief.
