the sketch...
In order to address the problem of turning polyhedrals into a mask, I decided to use these shapes for specific reasons. The polyhedral used for the main face of the mask was chosen because i felt as though it could easily be used as the main part of the mask. When looking at masks from different cultures, Venetian masks stood out to me. As soon as I saw the polyhedral that I used for the ears, it instantly inspired me to create a mask that resembled a cat. I then chose a smaller polyhedral for the nose and painted the mask black with metallic gold to give it a more dynamic feel. I used the pattern on the right side of the face and the left ear to make it less symmetrical but still balanced. After the critique in class, to improve the mask I would possible add or cut away from the lower part of the face to make it more interesting.
Once again, you had and instant lucid and creative response to the problem presented: Visually strong pieces in both phases of the polyhedral-based project.
ReplyDeleteInteresting reaction paper and excellent documentation of both, mask and packaging development processes.
