COOL CLASSES: Theatre 111
esheftel@kansan.com
BY ELLEN SHEFTEL
Celsie Sneden, a sophomore from Topeka, is a communications major and is taking the course.
"I really fell in love with acting as a whole, and I love learning the dynamics," Sneden said.
During the second class of Theatre 111, students began applying makeup on themselves to create the look of aging. In the class, students learn how to apply makeup for characters and the basic elements of stage makeup.
On the first day of class, Sneden said the students went over the material and then played around with their makeup.
Phillip Schroeder, teaching assistant for the class, said the class structure was a hands-on format and that there is little lecture time.
"Each class period, the students have had a reading assignment, bring in a makeup design for that week's topic and, through guidance, execute that design on themselves" Schroeder said.
Students who decide to take the course can expect to gain an understanding of facial features and how makeup and prosthetics can alter it.
"Non-theatre majors and theatre majors benefit from the creative expression and self-awareness this class offers," Schroeder said. "Often students choose to wear their makeup done in the class home or to other classes to see how people react to them
or treat them differently. This gives them insight in how society reacts either fairly or unfairly to our physical appearance.[6]
Shawnee, took the course last spring. She took the course because she was thinking about majoring in theatre, and this course is one of the requirements.
"I really liked the class because it was a stress reliever," Baker said. "It wasn't like my other classes. You just came in with your design for the day and got started."
The class has no prerequisites and is offered in both fall and spring semesters. Students who take the course range in majors from journalism to psychology.
