I know this might sound ridiculous, but I was consumed the last couple of weeks by Halloween. The other art teacher I work with is very big into costume design. It is her major art form, and every Halloween since I have worked with her we have dressed up for Halloween as artist and artwork. This year we were Leonardo Da Vinci and Mona Lisa. Although, I did not make the dress, I was experimenting with make-up and wigs. I give the utmost credit to costume designers. The work I put into finding a wig that would work under my budget was crazy. I also tried to use make-up to reproduce my face in a realistic manner to the painting of Mona Lisa. That was difificult to do, and I ended up just wearing normal makeup. I have grown to respect the artform more and more as the year passes. So, for this post about our artwork, I am posting about the costume used for school. Although, it was not supposed to be work for school, I was consumed by trying to make it life like these past two weeks. So, here is the picture to display the results.

  1. oh my gosh Melissa I love this! It turned out great! I can relate to being consumed by Halloween, although yours is much more detailed. Great job! I feel like costume design/makeup design are two art forms that I do not typically think of that much, even though it is something that I see everyday. It definitely is an eye-opening experience to find yourself in such a position and it also lets you consider just how many different art forms there are.
