[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].
Explanation:
Kabuki/Chinese Opera/Balinese/AK Native/African, etc Traditional Makeup or Mask: find a non-naturalistic face design(s) from a non-Western/Naturalistic theatrical tradition, including, but not limited to Alaska Native masks, African ritual makeup, Balinese dance drama, Chinese Opera, Maori Tattoos, Kabuki Kumidori, etc. The internet is filled with TONS of great images, how to pages and videos on this topic so you can learn more. You can do one of these designs as is in traditional fashion, or adapt one from a mask or artwork, or you can take one of these design types and alter them somewhat to create a new variation on the traditional design.
What to do:
Gather together your source material and photograph and submit your research picture(s) through the link below to get credit. Remember afterwards to also to import your research and rendering projects into your Portfolio/Makeup Morgue Assignment so you build up your morgue gradually and easily over the course of the semester.
