Samantha's+Mask+Project

(This is an older picture. I straightened all the letters, specifically "Houses")

My theme is Guatemala. I chose this because my family went on a missions trip there a few years ago, and it was an amazing experience. so, why not make a mask of it? I chose this theme over all of the other options, because it was so important to me, and I want people to know that.

Some issues I had was painting the mask. I'm not the most artistic person, and it was the first time I had ever done a face like this. It is supposed to represent a Guatemalan child. I spent days just staring at a picture, and trying to do an outline of the lips, and eyes. (I ended up needing help on the lips.)

I think it was successful. The only issue I have is that it is so basic. But yet, that represents Guatemala even more! I am very proud of the mask in particular, because of all the work I put into it, whether you can tell or not.
