2. I chose these 3 masks because they gave me inspiration & ideas on how I wanted my mask to look.  I really loved the colors of the 1st mask & used a similar style for mine.  The 2nd mask represents a youthful spirit, & I've always felt to be a youthful spirit myself, so I chose this 1 for inspiration.  The last mask actually had an idea I was already planning to use in my mask, with all the colorful, hair-like things standing out all over its head.

3. Upload images of your sketches and finished piece.

4. Explain how you used the Elements and Principles in your finished mask.

I used color to make certain areas of the mask pop & to draw your attention to them.  I also used different materials Like colored pencil, pipe cleaners, & shiny stickers to create texture.  I had these left over from a project I did with my son so it worked out well.

5. Share your opinion of your finished mask and what you thought about creating the mask.

I think my mask is pretty cool.  I used a skull shape because I felt I was appropriate for this time of year, being so close to Halloween.  I have to admit I wasn't very excited about this project at first, but as I was sketching & actually making the mask, I found myself enjoying seeing my sketch become a reality.
