CORE UNIT (Developed for the Make-Up Artist in training)
If
you want intensive make-up training, THE BIG PICTURE covers the diverse nature
of the art of make-up. We study many techniques and theories, gaining a broad
and imaginative approach to the craft. We then explore ways in which
you can adapt your new skills to the medium you are
working
in - stage, TV, film. There is also a strong emphasis on character make-up in
this class, the backbone of film and television drama work. This
course helps you loosen up and explore, and helps to expand your
individual style.
