WELCOME TO MY BLOG

Welcome! Hi, I am Nicole, an art and design student of DMUIC with international year zero. I am 19 years old and come from Hong Kong which is a beautiful city. In the next year, I want to be a part of Artistic Makeup and Special Effects in DMU and keep going to explore myself in different media. And I am very fascinated by cut and paste, and love to give another new image with bags, shirts or pants, anything that I saw. I also like to watch science fiction film or historical museums, very interested in clothes and dress up of different places, culture and history, whether they are luxurious or authentic.

I will being to share my work of digital art course on this blog, you can know the whole process of every artwork, what inspire me to do it and let just like the blog name 'TakeFun at art', enjoy and have fun at art.

Remember that the first impression of having special effect makeup was in secondary school. And I am always a big fans of television program, and there was playing with the repeat of 'Face off' season two which is the start of inspiring me...and I want to share with you.

'Face off' was an American reality television game show program, and this program had already been filmed about 13 seasons. This reality show had put a group of prothetic makeup artists together and they needed to create protheses who those can be found in science fiction and horror films in every single competition. The artists had to use their professional knowledge and skills to conform in each topic, they also need to avoid falling into the elimination list every time and created an excellent final work to win the competition.

I think they were all had done a good job and they were all outstanding, because some were self-study with makeup, some were already work for that, and some were even just contact special makeup for only nine months before the competition, however those various reasons did not discouraged their determination to participate with their artworks. Most of them can finished with a perfect artwork under the high pressure environment which is an amazing things, since it is hard to complete all in just three days, from drawing sketches to plan and apply effects makeup on the model. Additionally, it was also an interesting observation, to know their style or different expertise, what materials they were good at. On this competition you can even know the basic understanding of the steps to create a special effect makeup artwork. Making molds, dress up, decorations, you would know that all the details would affect the final present of the work, so they should be balance and matched up with everything.

But what it inspires me from this competition is not just a target to be the one of them whose full of creative and technique skills, but also to learn how do you use what you have now. Many artists of the competition had been eliminated was because they were showing off too much what everything they know, and then put it all together on the artwork, finally there were wasting too much unnecessary time and effort. Furthermore, do not be afraid to make mistake, it is time to gain experience, listen and ask, there are always something worth to be learned by everyone. And after watching this television program, I had been notice more about prothetic makeup and I want to learn and develop myself more in this area, hope can be join and work with large-scale production. For instance, avatar, guardians of the galaxy, avengers those impressive blockbuster.
