Mentor

On the 8th of April we all found out who our mentors teacher are. Every yr 8 girl has a teacher mentor to help and guide her. Your teacher mentor doesn't necessarily need to know about your passion project topic. For example, one of my classmates who is doing modeling got our I.T guy as her mentor!

My mentor is Miss. Fairhall. She is the technology and yr 6 teacher. She also happens to be my mentor for leadership! We have organised a meeting for the first week of next term to talk about my topic. Miss. Fairhall doesn't know anything about prosthetic makeup but that's o.k, i'll just have to teach her.

Final Decision!

On the 23 of march I made my final decision on what to do for my passion project!

My two ideas were to write a book and to make a prosthetic makeup. I chose to make a prosthetic makeup because writing a book doesn't really challenge me that much an I would probably do it anyway.

Prosthetic makeup is where you sculpt, mould, then you cast a face to make a rubbery foam mask. You then paint it to look however you want. Here are some examples:




These examples are from the t.v show Face Off. These particular ones are from series 7. That is where I got my inspiration from.

What is Passion Project?

Passion Project is an independent, year-long project that the yr 8s at Selwyn House School do about something they are passionate about.
Every girl has to do one, and gets a teacher mentor. Passion Project should challenge you and teach you new skills.
