media type="custom" key="6993933" Creating the mask, especially as our last project of the semester, was the chance to test our limits by means of creativity. There were no restrictions to what we could create, given the many resources in the art room. With this freedom, I decided to use photography as the topic for my mask project. I chose to do photography because The process of creating the mask was all about making creative decisions and learning new things. First, we made the mask by placing plaster gauze and Plaster of Paris directly on a partner’s face. By the end of it, we would each have a perfect mold of one’s face. Then, we would each incorporate the mask into a project. I placed my painted mask into a cardboard box. Then, I painted disposable cameras and positioned them around the mask in the box. At the very end, I sprinkled tiny flakes of gold paint all inside the box. Was my project a success? I feel that I could’ve done more, but it turned out all right. There is always more that one can add to any project. It reflected a part of my personality and something that I like to do-which was my goal.
