Students work in an industry-style studio environment and respond to briefs requiring specialist practical application. The course is delivered through lectures and demonstrations examining physiology, hygiene and makeup application. The theory of makeup design covers a range of topics, from professional ethics and research to the interpretation of scripts and their makeup and styling requirements The application of fashion, corrective, character and period makeup, special effects, ageing, body painting, airbrushing and prosthetics are the key elements taught within the Makeup Design and Production course – hair styling, wig application, moustache knotting and the use of synthetic materials are also integral course components. The course also involves regular work and assignments in photography studies. Photographic skills are essential for documentation and presentation of work and are gained through an introduction to camera use, lighting and the development of a portfolio. Students need to provide their own 35mm SLR camera and film or a digital camera so they can keep a photographic record of their work. In addition to formal classes, the course encourages students to seek work experience whilst studying. This often involves experience as makeup advisor or artist for local theatre groups, TV advertisements, music videos, short films, fashion shows and high school productions. Close liaison with industry provides many opportunities for workplace visits and experience throughout the year and for the development of students own networks with industry. The course culminates in a Fashion and Visual Show produced within the department of Fashion & Makeup Design. This event gives students the opportunity to parade their work in front of key industry representatives.
