Back early in the semester you hopefully created your Makeup Morgue/Portfolio Assignment 1 : Create a Place to Collect Your Makeup Morgue/Portfolio  If you followed  the instructions from the beginning, you dutifully have already

  • Put all your completed assignments into your Portfolio, whether you made a website, a Portfolium folio, a Google Doc, or a physical binder, or whatever place you put copies of all your renderings, research images and photos of your makeup projects after you did them.
  • Organized your assignments into project groupings in your Portfolio.
  • Labeled your assignments so they make sense to someone looking at the portfolio.

If you have been doing this all along, you simply need to show me your portfolio and you are done!

If you have not, you need to do all that importing, or printing, dividing into categories, and labeling now.  When you are finished, either show your binder portfolio in person to the instructor, and post some photos of it here, or if you have an online version put the URL to the online location here.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT HEIC FILES DO NOT SHOW UP IN CANVAS.

To be sure all is well with your grades, also check through ALL your assignments. 

Turn in any missing late projects, and double check how your grade points are doing by the end of this week.

If you have any Extra Credit Assignments to turn in, the time to do this is NOW.

This is your last chance to turn in work!  If you have got behind, get your behind in gear!

Week 16 Finals Week 

Insert Date Here: Group 1: Watch The Human Face Part 3, and afterwards check out Group 1’s Final Projects. Group 2: Mythical Creature Fantasy Final makeup rendering due at beginning of class, Mythical Creature Fantasy Final makeup completed in class.

Insert Date Here: Both Groups: Come to the Greenroom upstairs and bring your Makeup Morgue/Makeup Portfolio project (or show it to me on my office computer). Check through your assignments with Tara (parked in her office at PA 121 off of the Green Room) and learn your grade. Turn in any missing work. Also bring any late projects, photos of projects you did at home, and your double checked grade points sheet to make sure I have your correct amount of points.  If you are not sure what you have, please come and we can usually find a way for you to get projects done by the end of the day sufficient to pass the class. I will be staying at DVC after the class period till 5pm to let you finish and turn in any late work done. If you are far behind at the beginning of class time, instead go directly to the makeup room to get help from the TAs at catching up before you come upstairs.

Be Calm.  There is no test, no quiz, and you can skip these videos if you don’t have time for them.  These are all just cool food for thought that you may enjoy.  I find the more I learn factually about faces the better I can see them, work with them, and achieve our ideal of enlightenment.  So, I share these with you so you may do the same…. if you have the time, watch and enjoy.  If you do not, chill, and always remember, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR FACE!

Repeat Your Mantra: "There is NOTHING Wrong With My Face!"

DVC Student as a Woodland Fairy

Mermaid

Remember the Plan:


  You must create a makeup for a God, a Fairy, a Mythical Beast or Alien, that combines elements from the natural world (characteristics of animals, plants or minerals) and humanoid appearance.  The skin MUST have a color, texture or pattern that is not normally human.  You may use store-bought or home-made prosthesis or stencils if you wish.

What to do:


  • Consult your rendering and gather your makeup materials
  • Apply your makeup for the Fantasy Mythical Creature Makeup Project, to your face or your model’s face and either have your instructor (Tara) photograph it, or photograph it yourself for grading. (Include a photo with the makeup and the rendering.)
    • If doing your own photo shoot Costume yourself from the shoulders up with fabric/props, etc. you found. 
    • Do a  photo shoot of this project and give yourself time to get some perfect clear photos from many angles and upload at least the best 3-4 to the link below. It is OK to have a friend take your photos, but if they do, MAKE THEM WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW!!!
  • This is a reminder of how to get good photos of your work:

Student holds up the makeup rendering of a mermaid design she has made for her final next to the face of her model in the finished makeup.

Definition: Makeup rendering- drawing of a makeup design one intends to execute

Draw a color makeup rendering on one of your personalized face outline sheets, a generic outline sheet, or freehand, or with computer software of your planned Final Mythical Makeup and submit below.  It is OK to alter or even abandon your design if you find there are problems once you try it on your face, but still do a rendering.  When you photograph your makeup remember to take a photo of it alongside your rendering as this will look great in your portfolio.  Remember afterwards to also to put this rendering project into your Portfolium Folio for the Morgue Assignment due next week so you don’t have to do it later.
