STAGE MAKEUP CLASS PAGES 121: Research on Chosen Animal and Related Makeup [Assignment]

[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].

What to do:


Research a real animal face (no Hello Kittys or Happy Bunnies or sexy Xmas Party Deer, or super simple cartoon critters). Find multiple angles of photos of the animal, and if possible also see if there are good ideas for makeup for that animal for inspiration as well. If you are replicating a pet take photos of your pet to upload.

Upload 3-4 of your best photos  of the animal you found/took here using the link below.

Remember: This project is intended to stretch your ability to design and execute a makeup that will have you change the seeming shape of your face with 2-d paint.  This means NO super simplified cartoon critters like cartoon “Happy Bunny” or “Hello Kitty”, or the pretty but cartoonish “Fauns” and  “Sexy Xmas Reindeer” makeup tutorials that do not do this face shape change.  You can do cartoon stylized animals in a Face Paint assignment, but this assignment you should base on actual faces of real animals and NOT stylized Cartoons or Xmas Party Deer!
