WARNING, FAKE BLOOD: Chenango Forks alumna Jenna Wolf stopped by our Art Department this week to introduce students to exciting careers in Special Effects (SFX) makeup by demonstrating realistic “cuts,” “bruises,” and “frostbite” techniques!
After graduating from CF, Jenna earned her NYS Cosmetology license and spent 15 years as a hairstylist. Today, she brings her expertise to BT BOCES, where she teaches the same skills she once studied.
The class kicked off the year by exploring several “horror” films across various subgenres, analyzing how violence is portrayed and why we react the way we do. With Jenna’s insights, students now understand how knowing the creative process behind SFX can transform our viewing experience.
