Props

Another fun props class with Martin. We had an introduction to specialisms and props. Martin brought out a bag of clay and told us to create a face, we were going to be making venetian style half masks. It didnt matter if you did it wrong, just start again. theres no right or wrong. I love Martins classes. They're always fun and hands on and engaging. The masks eventaully dried so we covered them in glitter and graphite (i think thats what it was...?) and i attempted to create some pattern on the face using the glue gun. I was pleased with my finished mask. For something that had been done in half a day it turned out really well.

Im really confused to what i want to do now. I love it all. I love the hands on approach and the challenges props face. I love the thought of seeing a finished set on the stage all painted and put together and knowing it's my work. And i love the thought of seeing a finished costume on stage acting its part..... Hopefully the next few weeks will help me choose what i want to specialise in....Decisions decisions decisions..... Im looking forward to the next module but also not as the people iv become closest with are all designers or SM's. There are some lovely people doing Applied Arts though and im sure we'll get on well.
