I chose the first mask as inspiration because I thought it was beautiful and didn't look ugly like many of the other masks I came across. I also liked it because it was blue, which is my favorite color. I chose the second mask as inspiration because it resembeled a cat and I love animals so I thought that would be cool to try and incorporate in my own mask. Lastly I chose the third masks, which is the one I ended up referring to with my own mask because it represents the day of the dead. I have also loved these masks and skulls because I was born on November 1st and many celebrate this holiday on the first and second day of November.
I used both elements and principles within my mask. I used both shape and color throughout with the many different shapes I incorporated to create the eyes and mouth as well as the design. I also used eight different colors. I used balance as well because of the symmetry I created on either side. Variety and emphasis were also used between the many different shapes I used and the bright yellow around the eyes. I feel that was where the eye is directed when viewing my mask.
In my opinion I thought this assignment was fun and creative. The only issue I had was lack of resources and materials. I had to stick with markers because I didn't have much to work with. I also am not artistic so I stuck to the materials I know I could handle. I started with pencil as well so I was able to erase when I made a mistake. Overall I enjoyed creating my mask and had fun doing so.
