The reason I used my mask to represent breast cancer for this project would be a very close family member who past away from breast cancer. This family member was very close to me and when she passed away it was sad and hard to accept. So, when we got told we could do any topic we wanted, I knew I was going to do breast cancer idea. I had other ideas, but they weren’t so personal. So this is my personal connection and my reason why I chose this topic. Some problems I encountered in my project were, when I tried to cut my mask down the middle to make two separate pieces, it started to crack and spread. Another problem I had was gluing the styrofoam to the board and it kept falling off. The solution I thought of for the cracking of the mask was gluing the cracks in and smoothing it out. Then repainting the two halves. With the styrofoam problem, I had to hot glue it a whole lot more and quickly put it on the background. I think my project turned out way better than what had in my head. It’s larger than I expected and more detailed. I didn’t think I was going to cut my mask or the border ideas, but it helped a heck of a lot. If I could redo this project I would probably put more effort in the large ribbon and the detail on it. Other than that I would not change a thing at least for right now anyway.
