Yes! I want to take this course!
Learn the basics of theatrical makeup and face painting for fairs, fun, and holidays!

Face painting is fun and exciting.  It allows both the young and old to use their imagination and actually wear a unique work of art.  It's also a good way to raise funds at a local fair, church, or community function.

In this course you'll learn both how to make cute designs and to change the look of the face using theatrical techniques.  We also cover safety and troubleshooting issues such as allergies and keeping a sanitary work environment.

So join this course today. It's fun, inexpensive, and will make you the life of the party!
