jordanhanz. “DIY Gory Masquerade Mask Halloween Makeup Tutorial.” YouTube, YouTube, 11 Oct. 2016, www.youtube.com/watch?v=MONvglUc3qA

This source is a video, and is actually an inspiration for one of the looks I will be doing for my portfolio. Jordan hanz, a special effects makeup artist, is the person who originally came up with the idea for this look, using a masquerade mask. I looked at some of the techniques she used for painting, sculpting, and doing makeup. Also she leaves a comment on her video about what materials she uses to accomplish each look, and also links the website she uses to buy those materials, which is useful to help provide me with the tools I need to accomplish what I want to do for my capstone.

jordanhanz. “Love Sick Evil Mermaid Makeup Special FX Tutorial.” YouTube, YouTube, 10 May 2016, www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea8sx1OAifc.

This is another inspiration for one of the looks I will be doing for my capstone. This video is a sick mermaid look. She uses blue paint as a base. She uses model magic clay to make the different textures. She uses different techniques such as contouring as well as what she does for sculpting, learning from her work and being self taught is the best thing for me so that’s why I really think this source is reliable. I also take into consideration what she uses to accomplish this specific look. I’m using her work as reference, but some advice she had given about how you can use reference pictures or videos, but I would have to consider my own body and my own features as I’m doing each look.  

jordanhanz. “Heaven and Hell Angel Halloween Makeup Tutorial | Jordan Hanz / Kristen Leanne.” YouTube, YouTube, 22 Oct. 2015, www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVzweoMpqW4.

Jordan Hanz did this tutorial, she did an amazing job of showing each of the steps as for how she did this angel look. She did an angel and devil collab with another makeup artist, Kristen Leanne. She does her version of a look, but then she encourages other people to create their own style with a similar look. That is a part of my inquiry is how can I make my own style and make my own look while using someone else’s work for reference. I will be using mainly her work for reference, however I do want to develop my own work, as well as my own style of art.

jordanhanz. “Pop Art Demon Halloween Makeup Tutorial w/ RawBeautyKristi.” YouTube, YouTube, 3 Oct. 2016, www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsJeLSB6cWo.

For this video, Jordan Hanz does a demon look. This was also a collab with another makeup artist as well, with Raw beauty Kristi. They each made their own different versions of one similar look, put their own twist into it. In the beginning of the video Jordan Hanz shows both of their versions of their own looks. Seeing them side by side shows how different they can be, the differences in their styles of artwork they both achieve. This gives me a general idea for what I might want to do, I want to make a look using my own methods and make it custom to my body.

jordanhanz. “Unattainable Woman | Jordan Hanz.” YouTube, YouTube, 11 Sept. 2015, www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubcOx1JfLto.

This video is really based on what it’s like being a woman in our society, Jordan hanz uses a lot of the words that are really known to describe women within our culture, and she wrote it on her body. She was very creative, I want to do something similar, only really with makeup, and what people’s points of views are on it. Therefore is why i want to do a survey so that I can use the words from the survey for this specific look for the capstone project. I’m thinking about making this one into a video because I think that will bring out a more powerful message.

NikkieTutorials. “The Power of MAKEUP!” YouTube, YouTube, 10 May 2015, www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4Ov8qvZ2_w.

Nikkietutorials is another makeup artist i know of, she has been a makeup artist on youtube for around nine to ten years. I’ve watched so many of her videos in the past where she has done multiple different kinds of makeup looks. One of the videos I would like to do is called,”The power of makeup.” Where only half of the face has makeup, and the other half doesn’t. I saw this video of doing the power of makeup, which inspired me to do it as well as a part of my capstone project. It really shows how much makeup can really do, and shows a powerful message.

Renée, V. “Learn Some Horror Makeup Techniques from Oscar-Winning SFX Makeup Artist Rick Baker.” No Film School, 30 Oct. 2014, nofilmschool.com/2014/02/horror-makeup-techniques-from-oscar-winning-sfx-makeup-artist-rick-baker.

This source mainly talks about a special effects makeup artist, Rick Baker. It explains what he does in his work. At first I didn’t really think i could trust this source, but then I saw that there was a video, showing the process of making a prosthetic on a face. It shows the process, and what material and tools he uses. This source also explains if a person wants to be self taught, how they would learn that way. I think the part about being self taught was the most important part for me because the looks for the capstone project, are basically gonna be self taught. So I think it gave good advice by watching other people’s work, see their different styles, and create one of my own.

theepatrickstarrr. “THE POWER OF MAKEUP | PatrickStarrr.” YouTube, PArtick Star, 31 Aug. 2015, www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiq3M5d5T_A.

Patrick star is another makeup artist. As I was watching this video, it was interesting to see his transformation, and the different steps he took to get to the final look, as well as all of the techniques he uses. There are other videos by patrick star I have watched where he has talked about his journey with makeup, and how his career ended up becoming a makeup artist on Youtube. Which also inspired me to want to become a makeup artist in the future. Also made me think about how I would want to do something different and unique for my capstone.  

Vinther, Janus . Special Effects Makeup . Drama of Nygade, 2002.

This is a special effects makeup book explains how it is used in movies and how makeup can make the movies looks so real. Another thing about this source is that it talked about some of the history behind special effects makeup art. She uses different movies as examples for the history, “like 1895 the execution of queen mary when the special effects artist make it seem like her head was getting chopped off.” It’s good to know how makeup art began and the history of it. It also talks about working with different materials, like wax, and what it can be used for, like making artificial wounds. I also explains how to create different effects with the skin, making bruises or making it look like cuts on the skin.

“What Does a Special Effects Makeup Artist Do? A Conversation with Christien Tinsley.” CreativeFuture, 5 Oct. 2017, creativefuture.org/special-effects-makeup-artist-conversation-christien-tinsley/.

When I first looked at this source, I was a little hesitant on whether or not this was a reliable source. But I decided to look more into it, and then I saw that it was an interview. Interviewer, Gregg Lagambina was interviewing a makeup artist, Christien Tinsley. They talked about a lot of her interests that lead her to becoming a special effects makeup artist. They also talked about the schooling process of getting where she wanted to be in her career, as well as making a portfolio and getting the tools and materials she needed in order to complete her portfolio and get into a career she wanted to be in. She also does happen to talk about Rick baker, and how she worked with him on the set of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” This source is helpful for me because hearing from another makeup artist, and listening to the process of how she became a makeup artist. What she had to do to become very successful in her career.

Advanced Essay #4

Violence is a book, filled with many stories, but only one truth. However, it can be seen through many perspectives. However it seems to be most common that people think of violence as a physical act, in which could cause damage such as bruises and bleeding. The idea of violence is different for many people. Let’s also think of it as if it  an arrow, it can point in many different directions. It could be towards family, friends, enemies. Generally it isn’t an easy thing to deal with, and sometimes people use it because they don’t know how to deal with their own lives.

Violence doesn’t just include fists, words can also be used harshly against someone. They can be just as bad as a punch in the stomach or being shot in the head with a gun. Someone may use gun to kill someone else, or they could use it against themselves. Self harm can fit within the category of violence, however it can be seen as a coping mechanism, when in reality that not the case.  Causing that kind of harm to yourself, is not exactly the greatest way to `cope with struggles. Seeing self harm as a way to cope, is a perspective that certain people can have. That can become someone's reality, while others may not think that. Others may use self violence in a more mental way, like saying negative things about themselves, or saying that you’re not worth any effort.

I’ve personally had experiences with different kinds of violence. I was tossed on the floor by my own father, I was called several different names, however all of those experiences made it into a bad habit of me pointing all the violence towards myself. Think of that as if it were a routine, something that is consistent, you have other people point the violence towards you so many times. That could cause a negative impact on someone, making them think poorly of themselves. Therefore it becomes that cycle where it actually sticks in your mind, that you should be treated poorly. It begins to become something normal for you. This mainly happens because of the negative impact the people around them give.

Self harms fits into the category of self violence, like a glove. So right off the dot you automatically think about cutting. Well, that’s not the only way of self harming. Mental Health America states that there are multiple different types of self harming such as burning, head banging or hitting. That’s mainly the physical way of self violence. Saying bad things about yourself or someone saying things verbally can certainly have a huge impact on how they see themselves, or how they see other people. It takes time to heal from those sorts of actions. Especially when you basically have to learn how to do it yourself, since you’re the only one who knows what works for you.

Now, I know you're probably thinking; how can I help someone who faces self violence?  How can I help myself when I experience self violence? There are multiple way you can help yourself, and others as well. If someone you love is experiencing self violence, you just need to constantly tell them,”It’s going to be okay”. Remind them how beautiful/handsome they are. Push them through the struggles that they face. When you're suffering from self violence, you feel like the whole world is falling apart. Just know that you’re not alone. There are many ways to help yourself through those bumps in the road. Sarah shared her story on Reachout.com. She told her story through a letter to her old self. The one who suffered so much, it felt like she wasn’t living. It felt like she was dying.

Hayley Barci                                                                                                                     Oct.26.2016

I remember being bullied, because of the way I looked, the way my body was shaped, I was different. I was always trying to fit in with the the popular kids, with their huge groups of friends.  Meanwhile, I had one true friend, Abby. She meant the world to me. We would always play in the big backyard of her house, and have teddy bears wrapped up in between our arms. I could be whatever I wanted to be around my best friend. I can still remember all of the times we would get in trouble for silly things and how we would play witches in her bedroom, with brooms in between our thighs, flying in the magical skies.

The bullies would always bring me down, I fall, and I would stay on the ground. I would end up home, with my face, showing no emotions of the pain I suffered Every single goddamn day. I would always think of myself as an ugly person, or better yet, a thing. It was as if I were an alien, people poking at me with their sharp tools, drawing pain throughout my veins. An unbearable,  stinging, burning pain, attached to my soul. I would never tell my parents about my troubles. I kept every word inside my tight throat, it was suffocating.

“These stories changed me deeply”, the narrator admits in the beginning of A Place to Stand. I began to open my eyes, and realize that dominance is a way of life in our communities, and in our culture. It’s always the goal to be on a higher standard than everybody else, in different manners. Some nationalities have more knowledge than others, so therefore they use that supply of knowledge in order to gain more power in our nation.

I began to get older as I was starting the realize what I have and didn’t have, I was lucky enough to have all of my needs. I knew I couldn’t get everything thing that I wanted like a milion dollars, or a huge house, or a fancy car. My mother had many struggles with money, pay bills, or insurance, or medical bills. “We were poor by most standards, but one of my parents usually managed to find some minimum job or another, which made us middle class by reservation standards,” as claimed in Superman & Me. That’s that situation that certain people have to deal with in our society.    It has always been a heartache watching her struggle, meanwhile some people have all of the money in the world and have a lot of things that we need. The dominance that people of higher class posses is extremely powerful. Using it in order to receive more money from those who don’t really have it.  

This society that many people including myself are exposed to, has impacted the way we live. The amount of money that someone has can be relatable to how much knowledge you have. Sometimes people take advantage of the amount of knowledge they have against others, saying that they have more than someone else. That’s how a lot of people are today, trying to be more dominant than everyone else. That’s  what our society has become, and sadly, that the way it will be.Some people are not known for their knowledge, because others may think that it’s not as informative as their own, or not as important.

Well, after all, “if you want to be American, speak American”, stated in How to Tame a Wild Tongue.That’s often the case when it comes to knowledge, it’s like many people have expectations of you, the way to act, the way you read, write or speak. You are meant to have a higher stand when it come to literacy, and in how you interpret it. How you use the knowledge, and how much impact it will have on others.

These kinds of impacts can be positive for someone who wants more dominance when it comes to literacy and knowledge. For instance, in the United States we have the PSSA’s, PSAT’s, etc in order to measure how much structured learning they obtain. These sorts of situations occur in schools, colleges, jobs, and in multiple different accommodations. Children in many schools get bullied because maybe they don’t understand something in class, or maybe because they learned about literacy at a slower pace.

People of many backgrounds, also receive judgements for what kind of knowledge their families, or ancestors possess. In which can be an issue because you are not exactly your family members, you are not your ancestors, you have a life, and a mind of your own.

Everyone has wondered why leaders are the way they are, so kind and selfless, or selfish, greedy, and so tight-fisted. Maybe there’s a deeper understanding into how certain leaders treat their people with respect, or unfairness, while others choose to use people’s fear in order to rule or to stay in power. Some leaders have even used these qualities, and their position of power to take advantage of others. Or to make others feel small. This can be seen in various different stories and even in our lives today. For example, this has been shown in people today, such as Donald Trump, it it shown in certain characters in “The Lord of the Flies” as well.  Leaders use fear to be better than everyone else by being in a position of power that no one else has.  

Such as, in the scene of the The Lord of the Flies (182), when Ralph is speaking to the twins while they are guarding the castle rock, they are talking about how if Jack and his tribe found him, they will torture him, or even kill him. This links back to the thesis statement about how leaders use their peoples’ fear in order to rule over them. This is what jack is doing with his tribe, and even to people who are not apart of it, in which they bring fear upon even more than the people who are already in his tribe. He’s threatening the people in his own tribe, even more so than those outside of it. However I find Ralph to be of an interesting character because he seems to have that desire to be a leader, however not a selfish kind of leader, one that is full of respect and trust.  

Donald Trump also has this kind of affect on people, especially the ones who vote for him because they are giving in to his influence, which is giving him more power. For example, when he said, “The World Trade Center came down during the reign of George Bush. He kept us safe? That’s not safe, Marco. That is not safe,” he continued. “The World Trade Center came down because Bill Clinton (didn’t) kill Osama Bin Laden when he had the chance to kill him. And George Bush-by the way, George Bush had the chance, also, he also didn’t listen to the advice of the CIA.” Trump was saying how he could’ve prevented nine-eleven if he was the president at the time. That’s using people’s fear of nine-eleven to his advantage so that he can get elected for president. However realistically that wouldn’t be the case, if he never even had any sort of presidential experience what so ever. Also how the situation had already occurred, and we can't take it back no matter how hard we tried.  Even if he was president, he wouldn't have been able to prevent something as huge as that.    

However, being a leader can be a difficult task, but when it comes down to it, you must make the right decision for your people, and put them first instead of yourself. When Jack says,”See?! They only listen to me!”, (179) when all of the children are at the castle rock. Jack was arguing with Ralph right around where piggy dies. This event proves the thesis statement because of how Jack is trying to rule over his tribe with fear, using harsh words, or even violence. In which it is the leader’s choice on how they would want to treat their people, and Jack chose to treat his people very poorly.

An example of this behavior also took place during world war two, when over 60 million people were, shot, burned, and put to their death. This all began because one single man wanted power, Adolf Hitler. He once said,” Any alliance whose purpose is not the intention to wage war is senseless and useless.” He’s saying how unless it is concluded that war is the purpose of being a leader, than it’s useless. However that shouldn’t be the case, the fact that a great leader is someone who avoids war and violence at all times.

In conclusion, leaders must always be brave for their people, no matter the situation, however not every leader is full of such kindness, and such delicacy, meanwhile other leaders have chosen the path of taking over the power of fear, in which doesn’t get them that far. Leaders choose which direction they want to go, and how they rule over their people.

Blog Post #1:

My topic is going to be Depression and Anxiety (for any age group). I am interested in this topic because I myself was recently diagnosed with depression and anxiety, and it’s fascinating because this is something that can developed over time or maybe after a certain event. Also how there is so many in’s and out’s to it, and how it can be different for everybody. Depression is basically chemical imbalance in the brain, that causes a lot of mental and physical symptoms that can affect you and your loved ones.

This issue is significant because Depression and Anxiety is one of the main causes of disability, and even death. It is extremely important to be aware about it because you never know when or if you would run into this kind of situation in desperate need of help. Depression and Anxiety is basically an imbalance in your brain. Everyone every now and then gets a little blue sometimes, however if you are waking up in tears almost every morning, feel like you are dragging your feet 24-7.

At this point I’m wondering how educated people are these days about this subject, I also question what I haven’t learned yet about Depression and Anxiety. I’m hoping that I can find great ways to explain this kind of subject because it can be extremely difficult sometimes explaining to others what seems confusing sometimes yourself.
