Experience at James Watt College so far...

My time at James Watt College has been an enjoyable experience so far with learning new skills and meeting new people. The class this year are really good and everyone gets on which is important as it creates a good and happy environement to work in. The lectures are really good and have taught us a alot in the short space of time we have been there and we are updating the basic skills we all ready have on Make-up. At the start of the course I wasn't really confident about meeting new people but with having a good class it has made it so much easier. I'm looking forward to the coming months in college.

Curriculum for Excellence in our classes...

The four capacities of the Cirriculum for Excellence affects all parts of my course in college. Being a repsonsible citizen- not damaging anyone or the colleges property, taking repsonsibilty for our actions and consequences, carrying out any practical work safely and hygienically, respecting other people, clean up our work stations after any tasks, looking out for other people and helping when you can. In the last couple of months since starting the course I have become more confident as a person, learned how not to be so shy around people and voice my opinion about subjects. A successful learner is learning new skills and developing your existing ones that you have already learned, completing any work given on time, carrying out each task to the best of your ability and giving it a 100%. Being a effective contributor to the world- doing voluntary work and giving something back to the community, doing your share of the work if you are in a team, voicing your ideas and opinions, help anyone who needs pointed in the right direction.

HALLOWEEN....

The joker in Batman- the dark knight is a good example of scary Hallowen make-up because you need to add lines and wrinkles to help age the character slightly. You would apply white grease paint to the face so that the final affect is not perfect and has a slightly weathered look. You would then apply grey grease paint to the eyes and create two circles around the eyes. The lips would be painted blood red with
added red at the sides of the mouth and smudged out.

                                        

The troll in Halloween Town High is a different character to choose for Halloween as it not your typical choice. The whole body would be painted pink with pointed tips added to the earsand the nose rounded.
You would need a pink wig, back combing it to create volume and height.

HokusPokus- Sarah Sanderdson her face would be greased painted white with grey eyeshadow on her eyes and red lips.  



Skin conditions and how it can effect wearing make-up

Psoriasis is a skin condition where red, flaky, crusty patches of skin covered with silvery skins. This is not an infectious condition and most people it  only effects a small part of their body.  When wearing make-up with having Psoriasis a little is more to help camouflage it but will not reduce any abnormal textures. Never put any make-up on any open parts of your skin.

Eczema is a form of Dermatitis which can cause redness, swelling, itching, dryness, crusting, flaking, blistering, cracking, oozing and bleeding of the skin.  When having Eczema on the face you can wear make-up which is talc free called Physician's Formula which does not irritate your Eczema or Laura Mercier.

Wigs

A wig is a piece of hair made from horsehair, wool, feathers, yak hair, human hair, buffalo hair and synthetic hair. Wigs are used and worn for many different reasons- acting, religious context, fashion trends or if people are bald. They have been used for hundreds of years with wigs styles and hair pieces changing through the decades.

16 century wigs


Wig wearing was revived in the 16th century after the fall of the Roman Empire a thousands years earlier due to hair loss or improving your personal appearance. Natural hair during the 16th century was unhygienic as it attracted head lice so many people shaved there hair off and replaced it with ready made hair pieces. Queen Elizabeth 1 famously wore a red wig tightly curled and Roman style. King Louis X111 of France and King Louis XIV of France made mens wig popular from the 1620s. After 1660 mens wigs were either shoulder length or longer which became the fashion trend.
