Module 10 Mask Making

Inspiration for the Mask

• The masks I picked I thought were simple enough to come somewhat close to achieving a similar result too.
• In the one farthest to the left, I liked the use of pattern and rhythm as the mask is sectioned off and the patterns are revealed against the solid gold. 
• The one in the middle I picked because of its use of color, it creates a contrast between the purple of the mask and the bright colors surrounding the face. A unique touch about it is the zipper keeping the mouth closed 
• The mask farthest to the right I drew inspiration from because of its movement, the lines draw the viewers eyes all around the mask.

My Sketches

• For my mask, I want to use the element of color, I want to do a bright mask.
• On the face, I will be using the elements of shape to create distinction in the eye area. 
• For principles, I want to create a balance on the face of the mask, I want it to be symmetrical. 
• I would like the mask to resemble a bird-like figure.

Questions

Share your opinion of your finished mask and what you thought about creating the mask.

1. I thought the process of creating the mask was interesting and different from any other art project I have done in the past. I wanted to do a bird-like mask because all I want to do right now is be free like a bird and not cooped up at home anymore.
