Title
Mask or Imitate an Artwork Challenge
Description
Hi my major is nursing and I wanted to be a nurse because I love to be there for people who in need I will give my all to make sure you have it all so basically I wanna be some hero by helping them and caring for their needs. My interest playing sports such as basketball, track and softball. I usually play sports because of the competition because I love to compete that's just what I do. In the meantime I love to draw, drawing makes me express myself and how I feel so If I feel sad I will draw something sad because that matches my mood or when I'm happy I draw flowers or something that makes me happy. My background in art is basically being bored. When I first knew I can draw was when I was 10 years old I was in class and my teacher was letting us draw our favorite cartoon so as I was drawing my teacher said "WOW! that's really amazing" I just started smiling and when everyone was done she grabbed my picture and showed the whole class and my friend said "Can you draw my little pony for me?" I said "yes!" and that's when I knew I can draw. My process was kind of long that's because I wanted it to be neat as possible. I made my mask with some thick cardboard, I cut all my shapes out then glued it to the bigger piece of the cardboard which was the shape of my head that I wanted. Then after I just colored it with my markers It was a easy process as well. This inspired me because I love one line drawing so that kind of leaded me to this because the material I wanted to make a one line drawing mask were all gone. No because I would not able to breath but also yes because with this mask you don't have to wear it as close as the other masks are. It represent my identity by being the girl who wants to be pretty but also a crybaby so as you see on the cardboard mask you can see tears and lash with lip gloss. My mask is self portrait because its like another face in a picture so it basically suppose to look like a self portrait. I took this picture with my face covered and my hair out to show a portrait of me 2 faced the mask is how the world looks at me and the real me is what the people don't see. My mask is aesthetically because you would normally see mask like that for people who doesn't want the people to see the real them. My mask is unique because you wouldn't see anyone wearing a mask a cardboard mask today. It represent me because I usually care about how I look on the outside not the inside. This was created as an assignment for Susan Ludeke's ART 1910: Art Appreciation course.
