The Character
Make-up Artistry Course teaches character development and the
fundamental elements of prosthetic application and special make-up effects.
In the Character Course, you will learn the non-beauty techniques of
make-up artistry using traditional make-up as well as new materials
and tools such as the airbrush. By incorporating varying techniques
of special make-up effects you will create simulated injuries, age make-ups
and learn to apply prosthetics, bald caps and facial hair. This course
culminates with a photo-shoot that will capture a character of your
design and creation.
This course, when taken by an experienced make-up artist, as continuing
education, will enhance that artist’s skill level at his/her current
level of employment. When taken as part of a program (i.e., with Beauty),
this course prepares the student to work as an entry-level film and
television make-up artist.
Upon successful completion of this course, a Certificate of Completion
is awarded.
