THRART 115: Makeup Artistry

This course explores the professional approach to designing and applying makeup for theatre, fashion, and allied fields -- such as trauma makeup for ER response training. The course teaches both theory and practice. By working on themselves and on each other, students will actively apply the fundamental principles of character makeup, ageing techniques, and special effects, using bruise wheels, liquid latex, molding putty and stage blood. Students will also explore the principles of makeup styling for fashion spreads and TV broadcast.
