Art Making/Material Exploration Blog: Mask Making

1. I choose the three designs because of their meanings. I also choose the designs because of the detail in them. It was overbearing and it flowed with the mask. The colors were simple and allowed for the details to be appreciated instead of drowned out.
2. I used the elements in principles to create the mask by outlining parts in black. That to me help give the mask and certain details definition. I tried to use different shades of purple to show the difference in the color and the value. I tried to use different patterns to create a rhythm that would be in harmony with one another.
3. I had fun creating the mask. My children helped me with the colors. I think watercolors are a little bit messy but for the most part I really enjoyed making the mask. It actually surprised me how well the finish product came out to be. I tried to use colors that were bright but not over dominating. I also used the colors that are each of my children's and mine as well favorite color.
