Masks as a Canvas

Beginning the event by looking at various masks, we all gained some inspiration for our own masks when we moved to the studio. The process of creating my mask was mostly rethinking and re-evaluating my ideas. Originally, I planned on making a underwater, ocean-related mask. However, with little white acrylic available, I had to change my plan. There was white tempera paint which is a thinner, runnier paint which I mixed with yellow acrylic, making it slightly more opaque. Because of my fascination with dragons, I thought that it would be fitting to draw a dragon on my mask.

For this project, I essentially treated the mask as a canvas. As a post-idea, I decided to make the mask more face like by adding red and silver.
