Mask Project Hailey Flint The process of using plastic gauzes started this mask project off. It was a new and fun experience for almost all of us. After our masks were made we had the challenge of coming up with an amazing and personal idea to make into our project. For the longest time I was at a lost on what I would do. I watched as everyone else came up with ideas and got their projects rolling. My first idea was that I would get a map of the world, or use a globe as my background. This would represent that I wanted to travel the world in my future. With this idea I couldn’t seem to find a way to make my mask fit onto the project. Not only that but the whole thing seemed a bit boring. I also couldn’t find something to use as a map and drawing or painting the world wasn’t something I wanted to do. So I began to think of other things that interested me. I picked the stars, which I see, every night, my zodiac sign that is Aquarius, and then something I cannot wait to see which is Halley’s Comet. I got a corkboard from Mrs. Ruggles, which I used for my background. I used spray paint on a blanket to make the night sky. I also spray painted pushpins to use as stars. My mask is Halley’s Comet so I painted it with gold and silver shiny paint. For the tail of the comet I used purple, silver, gold, and blue ribbon, which I made curly by using scissors. I used the pushpins to make my zodiac sign, connecting it with pink string. My zodiac sign looks like a person pouring water from the sky. To finish up my mask I painted “Halley’s Comet”, “Aquarius,” Aquarius’s dates, and also my birthday on my project. I also used paint to make more stars all over the background. I didn’t run into many problems while making my mask but the hardest thing was using the string to make my zodiac sign and getting the ribbons in place.

POST REFLECTIVE WRITING

My theme is smiles and laughter. (: I chose my theme because I believe laughing is very peaceful and lighthearted. I think laughing a little each day can make a person happier overall. Hopefully in response of laughing each day people can learn to be at peace just a little bit more. The problems I encountered were coming up with an idea to even start with. Also getting my pinwheel to spin, which I solved with a thumbtack and eraser. I had trouble getting the wings to stay together because the newspaper i used made it the wings stiff. I actually had to pin the wings together also using a thumbtack and eraser. I used comic strips from newspapers and red paint for my pinwheel. My pinwheel does spin!! It looks nice. I wouldn’t change a thing. It is successful in everyway. (:
