Mask project 2011, was a challenge for many students including myself. I chose to have my project represent My Grandpa, Grandma and younger Aunt who died in a house fire October 1st, 2009. This was a very emotional project for me to do. Still to this day i have not completely accepted their death so, working on this project made it even more real that they were gone. I encountered several problems, I was working with such a big area it was hard to make use of all the space! I fixed that by taking my pictures and twisting, turning and cutting them until they were all different sizes and shapes. Then I took oil pastels and made flames in the background. This took up a majority of my space. I am overall pleased with my mask. Although, if i had more time i would blend the oil pastels more and I would have mapped out the lettering better! On a scale of 1-10 (1 being worst - 10 being best) for me as a beginner artist I would rate this at an 8. I wish I would have had more time to think, blend and map out my project.
