Please note - I am currently taking a break through the summer and will not be teaching this class. Make yourself a work of living art! We will be creating unique and artistic makeup looks based on various famous paintings. A replica of the painting will be available for reference. We first discuss some of the design elements in the painting. The instructor will point out a few specific parts of the painting and we might discuss possible makeup techniques. Then students will choose how they want to interpret the art in their own makeup designs. In the last 15 minutes of the class we will share our work as students who wish can be "spotlighted." **Please Note Regarding Dates: I teach all of my ongoing classes indefinitely through the school year and summer, including holidays. If there is a rare occasion when I need a day off, I will send that date out in advance. If a student needs to be absent from a class, I will make the video available. **Students are welcome to join at any time. This is not a guided makeup instruction class so results will vary. Students create their own designs, though we do talk about techniques and designs and they watch what I do. Students are welcome to keep their cameras on or off.**

Parental Guidance
Please be advised that the original artwork (like "The Creation of Adam") will show nudity, though necessary parts of the paintings will be covered and will not be part of the makeup designs. Human bodies (including nude bodies) are a significant part of art history.... but this seemed like something parents of young teens might want to know in advance.
Kids with sensitive skin should be careful about putting makeup on their faces, but we aren't putting anything on their faces that shouldn't be designed to go there.
I wrote the following in response to a question about brands for makeup for sensitive skin:
Some of my favorite brands claim to be good for sensitive skin in general. Urban Decay is my go to brand, and it claims to be hypoallergenic. But that doesn't mean it would work for everyone (nothing does). And different colors are more abrasive than others. The Nude pallettes are generally softer and safer, but as you said, not the bright and fun colors. Reds, purples (because they contain reds), and metallics are going to be the most abrasive. Green used to be the worst color. I actually talk in my Wizard of Oz class about why it was so dangerous for them to choose green makeup for Margaret Hamilton. Burts Bees and MAC are also really good. I found this article when I was looking for some more info to answer your question: http://www.besthypoallergenicmakeup.com/hypoallergenic-eye-makeup/. For foundation and my makeup wipes, honestly, Neutrogena actually does a really good job. It's inexpensive and drugstore brand, but it has worked better than a lot of the more expensive brands.
Supply List
Specific colors will vary according to the painting: I'll give recommendations, but no, I don't sell any of these products... You will need: * A makeup mirror * Makeup wipes (get the most gentle kind) * Eyeshadow in lots of colors (I like the Lisa Frank palette for good rainbow colors. or Nyx Ultimate Shadow Brights is a good economical alternative). * Face primer (like Nyx First Base spray primer is what I currently use plus a facial moisturizer) and Eye primer (there are many. No need to get an expensive one... you can even get eye primer at the Dollar store. Concealer also works for this) * Water-based Facepaint - I like the Mehron multi-colored palettes. Basic gives the most important colors. Basic + Pastel gives everything you need. I've also heard this is a good economical option * White facepaint - absolutely necessary for these three designs. In addition to a set of facepaint, I have a White Facepaint Creamblend Stick by Mehron - I use it all the time. I also often use white liquid eyeliner. * Foundation in your own skin color. Honestly, I use Maybelline. * Makeup brushes - a liner brush, powder brush, and foundation brush are the most useful. (you can use cotton swabs, paintbrushes, and your fingers if you don't have brushes, though) * Finishing spray - which we don't just use for finishing - it's used for SFX * Glitter in a variety of colors * Clear lip balm * Eyeliner - I prefer eyeliner fine-tip markers or liquid rather than pencils, though I also keep some inexpensive eyeliner pencils on hand for drawing designs. * Easy-off medical tape (for sensitive skin) - or scotch tape or painter's tape - can be very useful for straight edges
