Visual Journal: Masks (Due 3/14)
Google image search what visual journals are to get an idea.
You will be creating your another piece of art (if could be a mask but does not have to be) that is a mixed media type. See below for requirements
This is a smaller piece of art, so spend about 10-15 min a day working on this. This will help you stay in the mind set of thinking personal.
Do some research into african masks, asian masks and native american masks
- Write down what stands out to you
- Why do they make their masks
- What material do they use
- Who wears the masks
– Draw some inspirations as you research
