What to do:

• Apply Makeup for a Gothic/ Horror /Day of Dead/Character (that is scary for you), to your face or your model’s face.
• Have Tara costume and photograph you in the hallway with your Gothic Horror rendering.
• OR (if doing this at home costume yourself from the neck up and take your own photos. Give yourself time to get some perfect clear photos from many angles and post 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:

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

Inspired by your research and your childhood/adult fears, 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 Gothic/Horror Makeup Design and submit through  the link 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 and post it below.

Aesthetic Alienation

You will find that the makeup will work best, if no matter how hideous, you pay attention to style, beauty and balance in the aesthetics of the design.  This helps you to find the makeup less disturbing or scary by a process of alienation through looking at it aesthetically rather than emotionally.  (This is also useful if you have a friend who insists on dragging you to scary movies: The more you allow yourself to study lighting tricks, the choices of camera angle, and get fascinated by how the horror makeup is done, seeing it as stage blood, latex and wax, the less disturbing you will find the film).  This also makes your design look better and be simultaneously attractive and frightening!

Afterwards

When you do your actual face makeup also photograph your rendering  alongside your finished face makeup as shown above to save to your Morgue/Portfolio project.

Search for images to guide your design

Research images for your chosen Gothic/Horror/Silent Film makeup design. You may do any type of makeup that falls under this broad category, so long as it pushes your fear buttons, including Vampires, Monsters, and extreme makeup styles such as those found in films like The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari (Spanish Subtitles), The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (English Subtitles) , The Phantom of The Opera, Nosferatu Frankenstein, Dawn of the Dead, etc…. or Holidays like Day of the Dead, Halloween, Christmas etc that have scary images attached to them.. Gothic Beauty Magazine…. In short anything you find scary, but also kind of cool.  Please note …that both “Gothic” and Horror” are deliberately broad in nature and you may post multiple images here.  This is your chance to do something you find scary, like replications of classic horror film makeup, (like in the class video), vampires, werewolves, scary clowns,  and a multiplicity of other things that fall in to those two catch-all topics.

Upload photo(s) of your research through the link below for credit .   Remember after grading to also to put your research and rendering in your Makeup Morgue/Portfolio Assignment so you build up your morgue gradually and easily over the course of the semester.
