MASK PLAN: My plan for my mask is to tie it into my favorite sport; motocross. I plan on doing this by, taking my mask and putting a picture of me on my dirt bike during a race to cover my whole entire mask. My plan to do this is to, print the picture on a piece of tissue paper and then spray Elmer's glue onto the mask and lay the tissue paper over the mask so that the picture stays on my mask while I peel the tissue paper off. Once the picture is on my mask, I plan to create a large sized shadow box with a motocross track in it, and place my mask somewhere on the track.

MASK REFLECTIVE WRITING: I chose the motocross racing theme because, it is something that I do every weekend in the summer time. I also chose this theme because, I thought it would turn out great and look cool. Motocross is something that also means a lot to me, and something I enjoy doing a lot with my family. This theme also helped me to learn more about art, and creativity. Choosing this theme overall helped me put to work and use different skills in art that I didn't know I had or could use as much. During the construction of this art project, I ran into many problems, choices that had to be made, as well as solutions I had to come up with. The tissue paper idea did not work well because the paper wouldn't feed through the printer correctly. Instead of this idea, I painted the mask and used modge podge to put two pictures of me riding on the mask. The next problem I ran into was, the window that I had chose to put on top of the shadow box that my dad had built for me was not painted the right color, and had runny marks down the side. Instead of going back through and sanding it all back off, I went to the hardware and bought Plexi Glass to screw on to the shadow box instead. Last but not least, I had a hard time forming the dirt to make jumps on the track. The solution that I found to fix this problem was, to use a spray bottle and get moisture into the dirt so that it would pack down and form how I wanted it too. Once I got it formed I used Elmer's spray glue to hold the dirt into place where I wanted it to be. Even though there were a lot of problems that I had during the construction of my masterpiece, I am very happy with how it turned out. The track turned out to look like a dirt bike track, and how I had pictured it before I started constructing it, the dirt bikes stayed into place on the track, the bleachers worked well with the track, and my mask also tied into the theme well. This piece of art is something that I take pride in and will keep for awhile. I cannot complain one bit about how this piece of art work turned out. It is neat, organized, has something to do with my life and reminds me of many memories that I have. I would not of been able to complete this project if it was not for my dad, brother and fellow classmates that have helped me as well.





I chose this work of art because, it was appealing to my eyes, and caught my attention. I also chose this work of art because it was done by my favorite artist. I feel that my value study of lights and darks was the most successful piece. The least successful piece is my line drawing. This piece was the hardest to draw, and was my biggest struggle in this work of art. This project has helped me take the values of the piece of artwork and think about it more into depth. Overall, this piece has made me appreciate artwork more, as well as look more into depth about the qualities of the piece.
