The four capacities

curriculum for excellence

At college we participate in the Curriculum for Excellence (CFE)which helps us be better learners and can help in the future, after education. It identifies four purposes that anables young people to be successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors


my special effects class is linked to CFE because it helps us develop our skills and make us more confident and proud in our work. because you have to be committed in special effects and have an open mind on what you are trying to create like cuts bruising burns etc. This also helps us become successful learners


Hairdressing class is another which is linked to cfe. If we are not successful learners in hairdressing we could damage someone. We have to be confident to talk and explain things to clients and also to try knew techniques and hairstyles to help us stand out and pass the course. Being responsible In this class helps keep people sake as we are working with chemicals and electrical equipment. If propel contribute it could help other pass, be more confident and also learn more.
my character makeup class is linked to CFE as well because it helps our confidence and skills because we are practicing different techniques and again, dealing with different people. It also helps us be respectful of other people in regards to needs and products we use.

my wig class is linked to CFE because it helps us be successful in that profession. Even though we aren't necessarily working with people as much, the individual attention can help us progress much more than some of the other classes and i find it very fun and relaxing

Overall, all of my classes this year can help be progress to be an effective contributor in the future by helping us get the correct skills to get a successful job in the future, as well as helping us build confidence. i really enjoy college this year and find it very interesting

Skin types

What type skin do you have?
There are five basic skin care types: Oily, combination, sensitive, dry and sun-damaged. Your skin type is determined by how much or little oil your skin produces. Genes, diets, stress level, medication and even your skincare regimen can determine how much
 
  • Type 1: Oily Oily skin tends to shiny with enlarged pores, and is prone to blackheads and blemishes. You might experience some tightness.
  • Type 2: Combination/normal This skin type has medium pores, a smooth and even texture, good circulation, healthy color, may tend toward dryness on the cheeks while being oily in the t-zone.
  • Type 3: Sensitive Sensitive skin tends to be thin, delicate with fine pores. It flushes easily, is prone to broken capillaries, is frequently allergic and can be rashy.
  • Type 4: Dry Dry skin feels tight, especially after cleansing. You have a tendency towards fine wrinkles, flaking and red patches. In women of color, skin may appear ashy or dull from dead skin buildup.
  • Type 5: Aging or sun-damaged This skin also feels tight with visible wrinkles, slack skin tone -- especially around the cheeks and jawline -- with leathery texture and broken capillaries.

History of make up

From the copper and lead ore that the ancient Egyptians used to create the world's first cosmetics to the scientifically advanced products of today that can do everything from hide pores, smooth complexions, and turn the pale green of your eyes a vivid shade of emerald, makeup has been an integral part of humankind for thousands of years. Over the centuries, women used burnt matches to darken their eyes, berries to stain their lips and young boys' urine to fade their freckles. They even swallowed ox blood in some misguided attempt to improve their complexions.
Women throughout history put their health at risk with many of their homemade cosmetics. In some cultures, for example, women used arsenic, lead, mercury, and even leeches to give themselves the pale appearance deemed beautiful in the old days. Thankfully, we've come a long way from the days of using toxic and deadly mixtures to enhance our looks.

wigs

The ancient egyptions wore wigs to shield their shaved, hairless heads from the sun. The Egyptians also wore the wigs on top of their hair using beeswax and resin to keep the wigs in place. Other ancient cultures, including the Assyrians, Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans, also used wigs.

17th century wigs were quite detailed, covering the back and shoulders and flowing down the chest, they were also extremely heavy and often uncomfortable to wear. wigs were expensive to produce. The best examples were made from natural human hair. The hair of horses and goats was often used as a cheaper alternative.

Women's wigs developed in a somewhat different way. They were worn from the 18th century onwards, although at first only surreptitiously. Full wigs in the 19th and early 20th century were not fashionable. They were often worn by old ladies who had lost their hair. Hairdressers in England and France did a brisk business supplying postiches, or pre-made small wiglets, curls, and false buns to be incorporated into the hairstyle.


Wigs are worn by some people on a daily or occasional basis in everyday life nowadays. This is sometimes done for reasons of convenience, since wigs can be styled ahead of time. They are also worn by individuals who are experiencing hair loss due to medical reasons. Wigs are very common and are worn by many celebrites some that change there look daily. They may also be worn for fun as part of fancy dress when they can be of outlandish colour or made from tinsel. They are quite common at Halloween. Wigs are used in film, theater, and television where there usually made to reflect the type of character being played.
