Extra Blog Post: April

Career day was this week and I was lucky enough to get to see a makeup artist. In my opinion i feel that she was very experienced in her field. The only problem was she wasn't that well that presenting which made the overall presentation not that great to watch. What was interesting was how she did and had been working as a makeup artist for the TV show modern family for about six or seven years.  I had taken a picture of her during the presentation but sadly my I phone fell into the toilet recently and the picture was lost. It was interesting to see how she began at a makeup school that at the end helped her get a job right of the back. She said it herself that this field is very difficult to start up in and that you are constantly searching for more work for yourself. After she was done presenting the floor was open to any questions anyone had and her answers where very informative. I had many questions of my own and after the class I asked her questions based off my own makeup, products she recommends, and just anything that came to mind. One thing that was really great to look at was the makeup kit filled with all of the different products and brushes that she would use if she was meeting with client. It was nice to know about her personal experience as a makeup artist.

(c) Senior Project Hours

(d) My independent component consisted of researching, listening to my mentor, watching videos creating a book and physically applying makeup on others that would allow me to do so.
  
INTERPRETIVE
Defend your work and explain the component's significance and how it demonstrates 30 hours of work. Provide evidence (photos, transcript, art work, videos, etc) of the 30 hours of work.
Creating the makeup book was very significant to my senior project because it gave me a feel of what all makeup artist do every single day while applying makeup. I was able to learn how to work under the pressure of someone else waiting and watching you apply makeup on them. You have to really have a certain type of mindset while working on someone else. You need to know how I communicate and ask question like what they like and dislike. You are under pressure because don't get a second try so it has to come out great. I felt that creating this book gave me a sense of that. I really couldn't wait until I got to the part where I physically started applying makeup. I was the one creating the different looks  based of what someone else wanted and it was very difficult but exciting.

APPLIED
How did the component help you answer your EQ? Please include specific examples to illustrate how it helped.
This component allowed me to understand all of the research I have done. I finally put them to use while applying makeup on others. I was able to learn about how all these looks are accomplished using the products and techniques. Luckily I had people close to me that allowed me to preform on them. This component took me beyond what I previously knew because I was finally putting my knowledge to the test. I stepped into the baby shoes of a makeup artist and how she or he works on a daily basis. It was truly different from my experiences with my other component because that was creating a look on paper rather than a person.

 

 

Extra Blog Post: March

I have been working on my independent component two for about a month. This process is just gathering information on what looks I want to apply on my "clients" or if I want them to just choose a look and I will preform it. I feel like I have many different ways I can do this but I'm not sure what the most effiecent way would be? I have been getting more products or tools that I will need to preform the application. I have many people in mind or willing to be my "clients".  Again like I said there are any way I can tackle actually applying the makeup on my "clients" but I'm not sure which is best. I can meet with them individually which would be the more realistic or I can just have them all show up at one location preform on all of them. Since I cannot go and buy all of the products for there individual face I am going to have them bring their on products and I will have some of my own.

Overall I'm really excited on how my independent component two is going to turn out.
