7. My Thoughts The courses from this program that interest me are Makeup for Film & Television, Airbrush Makeup, Theatrical Makeup and Makeup Artistry Fundamentals. I found some courses I never knew about such as the airbrush course which I find interesting. I like the part-time because it allows me to work part-time to help pay for it Downtown is convenient because I can commute from home if I have to Costs roughly $5000 for courses so it’s less expensive than Vancouver Film School but I think VFS is more specialized in where I want to be job wise If I could afford it I would take both programs
