[This page is part of a mirror of my Canvas learning system pages I created for my Drama 112 Intro Stage Makeup class at DVC. If you want to use this content for another Canvas class shell you can find it in Canvas Commons by searching for “Tara Maginnis” and you can download all or part of this directly into your shell with all the extra cool formatting of colored divider lines, right side embedded Giphy animations, etc. already put in, if you are working with a different system, it is ok to copy and paste from here, and then customize the pages as you need for your classes].
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.
