Masks: Sacred and Profane

For this project we were given the prompts to make a mask that was inspired by a certain type of mask in history. The Mask I made was inspired by World War II gas masks. I made this mask using a mold that I had sculpted out of newspaper and tape . I then laid a slab of clay over the mold and cut the eyes out. I looked at the image I was using as an example and tried to replicate The Masks as well as possible. I chose this mask because I think it is somewhat creepy and I enjoyed learning about wars in history. I think this project went quite well. I didn't struggle with anything specific but I would have to say my favorite part are the colors I used.
