At first the reason I did this curtain design on my mask was because it was one of the many designs that came to mind originally. Then I started to think about it a little more and thought that this would be one of more fulfilling to me personally. At first I wanted to do something more like a mardi gra mask because that is who I am all together, happy, up beat, and like the more beautiful things in life. Then I heard that I couldn’t do anything on the lines beautiful of beautiful. So, the next step was to pick one of the other designs that had come to mind. One of the biggest problems of mine with this project was figuring out what to do for the background of my mask. It took me two days of thinking and a day of talking to Mrs. Ruggles about what to do. Then we can up of things to bring out the colors in the mask, that’s when I thought of yellow daises and gray rain clouds. When I took a step back and looked at the final piece with a few of my friends they thought it needed a little more, and I had to agree with them. So with that note we decide to put a butterfly and bumble bee. But on the other hand I decide to experiment with hot glue and make some rain drops. Over all I took blue paper and put some hot glue on it and made rain drops to bring together and look finished. If I had to go back and look at my art I would be okay with it. I feel as if it is unfinished and could have been better. I always have dreamed of doing this project and feel like its not I didn’t live up to the expectations of the images in my head. But for the over all project I think it was pretty good. The colors in body me and the way I live my life. Also the background complements the mask very well. On the other hand I wish that the background didn’t look so much like a lion’s main. Other than that it can out very well.
