Presentation Reflection

Q: In what way did the first interview affect your presentation?  Please explain, be specific and use an example.
A: In my first interview Alicia said that being a makeup artist means being creative. I thought to myself how can I be creative about my presentation so instead of words I only put pictures on my poster. I drew and cut out all the individual pieces that represented a specific event and glued it all together. 



Q: What would you say stood out about your presentation performance and why?
A: I stood out because I believe I was the only person who did the history of a product. I did the history of mascara because I knew that everyone who saw my presentation will walk out knowing the most random facts about mascara. Knowing that I felt pretty good about my presentation.


Q: What was the most challenging to do and why?
A: The most challenging thing to do was to find something interesting that I wouldn't talk about in my two hour presentation. I would of liked to add in my presentation how to apply mascara but I would need to talk about that in my two hour. Other than that another challenge was how it would be laid out on my poster but I'm glad how it came it.

Senior Project Presentation 1

Senior Project Presentation 1: Where did mascara come from?


Objective: Students will learn how mascara was derived from Water Cosmetique


Procedure:
1) I will ask the class if anyone knows where mascara came from.


2) I'll start off by saying that mustaches were a very popular thing in the 19th century. Since they were so popular there were many products that were made to shape and style them. Signs of gray appeared and if men wanted to hide it they would temporally stain their beard by using Water Cosmetique.


3) Visual: Poster with pictures of mascara/ Water Cosmetique 


3) Explain what a Water Cosmetique is


4) How it was used in the theater 


5) By 1910 it started to be called mascara and was now used outside the theater and being manufactured for everyday use.


6) I'll conclude it by asking if everyone understood how Water Cosmetique became mascara and if anyone knows how to properly apply it. If no one has the correct procedure of applying mascara I will explain how to do so.

Interview Check

Q: Who are you interviewing and why?
A: I am interviewing Alicia Ynurrigarro, my service learner. I am interviewing her because she was the first person to introduce me to professional make up. She taught me a few tricks but I want to know how she got interested in doing make up.


Other questions I would ask her:
I would ask her how she started and what interested her.

Senior Project Topic

Q: What is your topic?
A: My senior topic is being a Make-Up Artist.


Q: Why?
A: I've always love make-up. I was fascinated by the colors and designs that you can put on people.  At a regular job you do the same old thing and eventually get bored, but being a make-up artist you have to be creative and you're always on your feet. Since you're always doing something different and helping people this occupation has really intrigued me to try it.


Q: What do you hope to accomplish after studying this topic all year?
A: I hope that by the end of the year I will have a greater understanding of what I am getting myself into and that my make-up skills will be at a professional level. I also hope that when I graduate from I-Poly I will walk out with a head start on my future career.
