We'll do a basic modeling session to demonstrate the basics of draping and pinning, posing, lighting for photographs and more. This workshop is designed for both artists and models. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21st • 10:30 AM - NOON DIRECTING YOUR MODEL (Bob Eggleton & Sarah McGinnis) We'll discuss the model/artist collaborative process from both sides—how an artist can direct a model and how a model can be a part of the creative process in return. We'll discuss posing, use of props and other ideas that transform the process from just "taking pictures" to a creative, collaborative endeavor. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22nd • 10:30 - NOON MAKEUP: WHAT DOES IT DO, HOW TO USE IT EFFECTIVELY, & WHEN DO YOU NEED IT (Sarah McGinnis & Julia Johnson) We'll discuss basic makeup for modeling (contouring, colors, application techniques) for photographs and sketching, as well as using basic make-up to enhance or create a character look. Julia will also be demonstrating a more complex piece on one or more of our models that will be paired with an on-the spot costume creation which will be available for photographs after the talk.
