Peking Opera Mask or Beijing Opera Face or Lianpu means the type of facial make-up or face-painting. In Beijing Opera, different types of facial paintings express different significances – Red facial painting for loyalty, black facial make-up for uprightness, yellow face for homicidal and tyrannical, blue and green face-painting for a forthright and testy temper and white “face” for the treacherous and evil men.
This course will train the students to turn a piece of plaster into a Peking opera mask with brush and watercolor.
