Art 1: Mask Description

1.) Why did I choose the theme that I did? I choose to do something that had to do with my life and something that reflected who I am. My mask reflects things from when I was a child to who I am today. I have changed a lot form when I was a child so I thought that I would reflect on my childhood and my life now. The difference between the two makes me think of the different things that I have done In my life. I think that the theme that I choose was a good Idea because everyone needs those moments when they can look back ant the things they once liked and the things they like now and who they have become.

2.) What was the process of making my mask? The process of making my mask was kind of hard because I didn’t know what things I was going to use for my mask. Once I found out what I was going to use I found that It began to be easy for completion. I used pictures from when I was a child and pictures of who I am today. I also cut things out of magazines that describe who I am and who I was, I also used purple paint and a piece of cardboard as my backdrop. I painted each side of the cardboard a different color of purple, Then I used modgepodge to glue the pictures down and make them stay. Once I was finished I used modgepodge to give the mask a glossy look to the picture.

3.) With the completion of the mask do you like how It turned out? What would be some things that you would change to make It better? I like the way my mask turned out after I was all done with It. The different pictures that I used from when I was a child to who I am now, make’s a big difference as to how people change. If there were some things that I could change about my mask to make It better, I would change the color of the mask and maybe use a different background as well. I would also try to use some different colors and try to make the pictures stand out better. To make my mask look better I would also try using a different backdrop and maybe one that Is bigger and something that stands out more, wanting It to catch the public’s eye.
