Engage and Persist

The problem I had was plaster not sticking together. When I was making a mask on my face, the plaster can’t stick together. It was because I couldn’t see well what I was doing, so I didn’t have good control. When I did it on the face model, it helped me because I can see it, so I had nice control of sticking the plaster together. I can control the thickness of the plaster and it was easy for me to know where I should put more.

Develop Craft

Develop Craft:

I used plaster and paint the most. Plaster was used to make my mask, and for decorations I mostly used paint. The techniques I used were splatter paint and drop paint. I improved by trying out small pieces of plaster to make my mask successful. Not to make mistakes like putting too much water or too much paint when using the splatter technique, I practiced on a separate paper and made sure of the amount of paint and water was enough. I did the same with the dropping paint. Because of practice, I am satisfied with my work.

Envision

Envision:

I am making my mask with plaster, and I am going to paint, splatter paint, put glitter, and linen rolls.

Stretch and Explore

Stretch and Explore:

I tried to use Plaster because I thought my idea would fit best if I used plaster. So I decided to make my mask with plaster. I splattered paint, black and purple because, in my opinion, black and purple represent darkness and hope.

Express

Express:

  • The mask tries to hide itself: The mask only show eyes and everything else is covered by the mask.
  • It represents the feelings of the people who tries to hide themselves.
  • It is made of plastic: I am going to make it out of plaster!
  • Want to wear the mask to hide my feelings/me.

WANT TO EXPRESS…

  • The mask for hiding emotions
  • The tear on the mask
  • The sadness.. (Black TEAR, BLACK LIP)

 

Observe

Details

  • The tear is not clear like people do, but it’s black.
  • The mask is ORIGINALLY white, but light reflects, so it looks like green and pink on each side of the mask.
  • The eye is pointy like fox.
  • It looks like the mask is divided into half by colors.
  • It seems like there is no lips, but it is kind of colored with green on the left, and light pink in the right.

Understand the Art World

Understand the Art World:

I chose this mask because when I saw this mask, I really liked the tear in the black. The aura, which is dark but light made me comfortable and kind of exciting. The mysterious feeling makes me curious of what’s going to happen. From the video, it says some masks are to hide themselves, and in my opinion, this person in the picture is also hiding himself. I think the mask can describe or hide the people who is wearing it or their feeling. Masks can be representing different things, and it has different meanings!
