Tyler Larsen Mask project The theme for my mask project is happy to be free. I am an American and Americans are free. I like the colors red, white, and blue, and they stand for the colors that are on the American flag. Americans have made a lot of progress throughout the past, and I am proud to be part of that. America has a lot of good things about it. The process I followed is to have Mrs. Ruggles use the gauze to make the plaster mask of my face. After it dried, I sanded it, and then started the process of painting it. I chose my colors, and started painting. I had a few problems with the paint peeling, so I started adding mod podge to the paint, and it solved that problem. I chose a piece of cardboard for the flag background. I drew the stripes with a pencil and a yardstick. I laid the yardstick down on the cardboard and made the stripes. I then painted the flag. When I finished painting the flag, I glued my mask on it. I used blue tissue paper for the blue part of the flag. I am happy with the results. I would not change anything about the project except, I wish I would have been a little more careful while painting the lines on the flag. My favorite part of the mask project is that it reminds me of an artist that I did a report on in art class. I like the idea that my project represents freedom, which is very important to me.
