Mask Creation

Inspiration Pieces

This mask obviously has form and shape as it is 3 dimensional.  The color of this mask is what originally drew me towards it. The hue is a beautiful pink at the just right intensity. All of the parts put together equal a whole therefore this mask has unity. It is also has variety by using the different lines, values and shapes. There is emphasis towards the eyes because of the darker coloring/shading. I picked this mask because I loved the use of the color pink and the unique design on the eyes.

Once again this mask is 3 dimensional so it has form and shape. The colors are what make this mask what is is by emphasizing the eye area. Once again there is unity due to the balance of each side of the mask. I picked this mask because I love the jewels used along the eyelids and the part covering the eyes.

This mask is simple but that is why it is so intriguing to me. It is 3 dimensional so form and shape can be seen. Line is used on this mask with the swirls drawn/painted on. Unity and balance can be seen through the use of the swirls being specifically placed on the masks. I picked this mask because it was simple and I loved the swirl design.

Finished Product

My finished mask has both form and shape because it is three dimensional. The shape is determined by the outer lining of the mask. I used a lot of color in my mask because I wanted it to be feminine and using "girly" colors such as purple and pink helped get that point across.  I also used one of the properties of color "value" by using light and dark versions of certain colors. Space is used in the structure of the face. The eyes and centered lips and nose give the mask a sense of balance. There are a variety of different colors and textures used in my mask.



Considering how terribly "un-artistic" I am, I was very pleased with the outcome of this mask. I thought it was a fun project and I really enjoyed getting to use my own interests. The "jewels" at the top form the letter J for my name, Jamie. I used my favorite color pink and made some "jewels" on the mask as well.
