  • 3.00 Credits

    Gives the actor a way to transform the basic tool of all Theatre: the human body, specifically the face and skin, through painting and 3-D techniques to support the characterization created by the actor. Good makeup design translates the skills of a character analysis from acting and design classes into the visual language of how the audience perceives the human face. Students learn to idealize and perfect the appearance, to amplify shortcomings in scale and type and to artificially create the age and experience that appear in everyone's faces as they go through life. In addition to realistic transformations of the face, students also learn to go beyond reality to hyperbole and fantasy: to theatricalize the face into a highly expressive tool of the acting trade.
