For my second project I recreated different styles of makeup from four different cultures; American, African, Native American and Indian/ Asian makeup. For the art portion I recreated these looks on myself and presented them in a video and took pictures of the final product. I did research so that I could understand the differences appearance wise and tried to represent those differences as best as I could through my experience and knowledge of makeup.
For the English part of the project I wrote a poem about how other cultures or groups of people will discriminate and criticize makeup itself or other cultures of makeup and styles. I used aspects of figurative language like rhyming and personification to emphasize the importance of makeup, the reasons people use it, and how it's viewed by society. I also wrote small paragraphs to go with the videos and pictures to explain why certain cultures where makeup and how its symbolic or meaningful to them.
