4. I used a lot of color when creating this mask because I wanted to keep it very unique and fun spiritied. I also chose to texture in the cheeks and forehead to show that the person is smiling and using certain muscles in their face. I also chose to use pattern because I did keep the colors consistent on each side of the face. Lines were definitly a big portion of my mask as well creating much definition. 5. I thought the finished product of my mask turned out really cool. I didn't really know what to expect because we had no boundaries. However, reviewing different masks it really helped to put my own mask into perspective. I thought it was fun creating the mask I always find creating art to be sort of a stress reliver because it takes your mind off other things. I was excited with the turnout of my mask and can't wait to see what kinds the other students created!
