We did this lesson last week called ‘Picture Perfect’ which
was an idea from my mentor Caroline Adams which I found really helpful and myself and Jessica Barnes both applied to our Fashion Makeup Artistry Students. Obviously
this is makeup related but you may be able to take some ideas and apply it to
what you teach Students were split into groups of 3 (students put with classmates they don’t normally interact with)
and they chose a describer, artist and model. I gave the describer each a photo
of difficult makeup looks that only the describer was allowed to look at. They
had to describe to the artist the look they had to create (the artist can’t see
the photo) using intelligent words only. They had to accurately describe
colours, textures and where to put things on the face using measurements as
they were not allowed to point. The artist had to carefully listen, concentrate
and ask questions. They ended up creating amazing looks and surprised
themselves with this challenging but fun activity.
