Course Description:   A study of various stage makeup techniques, though assigned projects and practical applications.   Emphasis will be placed on designing makeup for an audience proximity of 30 feet (approx.).

Course Objectives:   To familiarize students with fundamental makeup techniques, equipment, and materials.   To introduce students to specialty/ special effect makeup techniques. To attain a basic skill level in makeup application and color selection for students' future participation in theatre, film, and video productions.

Please Note:  If you need course accommodations because of a disability, if you have emergency medical information to share with me, or if you need special arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please make an appointment with me as soon as possible. You may also contact Drake's Disability Resource Center at 271-3100.

Attendance and Class Participation:Attendance is MANDATORY. A student will not master the techniques if, 1.The student is not present for the demonstrations or 2. the student is not present for the practical application of the makeup.   Therefore, only two unexcused absences are allowed.   Illness must be documented by the health center.  Any more than the two allowed absences and your grade will be lowered one full grade per absence and will   continue to lower with any subsequent absences.

Projects: Each makeup project must be accompanied be a completed makeup worksheet. This worksheet is your "plan of attack" for your makeup design and must be 90 % completed BEFORE you enter the classroom. No projects will be accepted for grading without this documentation.   (Proper completion of worksheets will be explained in class). Students may elect to "re-do" ONLY TWO projects for a better grade. No "re-dos" will be permitted for those projects missed due to unexcused absences. Projects missed due to excused absences must be made up within the following calendar week in order to receive credit. Projects not completed within the time frame are counted as a zero (0).It is your responsibility to schedule a makeup session.You will be working on your own during a rescheduled makeup session and showing your workto myself or an assistant to receive credit for the project . Note:If you are planning an extensive/ time consuming design project it is recommended that you start working before class is scheduled to begin. All work is expected to be your own original design, thoughts and execution. If any project (design or accompanying paperwork) is suspected of not being the student's own work, the student will be notified, and possibly expelled from the class for the remainder of the term. A failing grade will be reported to the Registrar for that student.

Project Grading: Each project will be graded on the following criteria

                                    -Level of difficulty of the design attempted

                                    -Quality of technique development

                                    -Completion of makeup sheets, research materials

Course Grading:    60% Projects (includes research and documentation)

                                    20% Makeup morgue

                                    10% Attendance and Class Participation

                                    10%  Final Design and Written  Character Analysis

Photos:To document your finished makeup applications, you are encouraged to photograph you work.
