I wish you well on this venture. I've taken classes in everything you've listed. While I commend your attempt at shortening the worktime, I fear your students will be disappointed. Part of the necessary FX class time is for students to do a hands-on with the techniques you show. I know that demoing prosthetics can take 30-40 minutes when teaching application and blending. (Types of appliances, adhesives, trimming, pre-painting, filling, etc.) Let's not forget the questions you get in class that eat-up time, but are vital to many students. How much time do you think your students will need when doing it themselves? If you're doing litle scars or horns, it'll take no time at all. But many may want to learn to do brows, ears, mandible appliances, etc. When dealing with moving areas like that, there's other things to consider. I took one class that lasted 2.5 hours on appliance application and it was mostly demo, but I had prior knowledge of appliances. It was invaluable to me as that class covered foam latex (instead of the cheapo hollow latex stuff) and things to consider when trimming a
Making prosthetics will take even more time as there are many materials out there and oh-so many things to consider. Again, you'll get a slew of questions that will eat-up time. How you will cover this and the other items you mention in a hands-on class, I can't imagine. IMHO - Recipes are easily found on the internet. So unless it's something groundbreaking, it's really no biggee.
