I think that African art provides
great depictions of creativity and authentic influence when it comes to masks
for ritual or celebrations. This is the
reason why I chose to use African masks as my foundation for creating my own
work of art. Also, it is reasonable to
say that the masks are much different from other cultures in the world, which
is another reason why I enjoy viewing them so much.
In regards to the analysis and
description of the mask I created it provides an appearance that the mask has
some significance in regards to important things in my life, school and
learning awesome information about things that will certainly be retained. Furthermore, the use of bright colors and
particular shapes gives the viewing of the mask an energetic emotion and is
able to bring the viewer to an idea that the mask is used for important
purposes.
Below are my sketches of the mask I created and the other masks I used for inspiration.
Below are the final version of the mask I completed.
The elements that were used in the
final version of my mask are shapes and mass because of the three dimensional
characteristics as well as complementary coloring and emotional effects of
coloring, this occurs because each of the colors used is the category of
primary and are able to build an impression from one another. For this creation the principles that are
incorporated into this project are emphasis because the image has a red hue in
the front and capture the attention from the rest of the object (the
mask). Another principle that could be
used are the scale and principle characteristics, mostly because the mask is
able to generate thoughts about how big it is compared to its environment, as
well as the person wearing it, which is me.
My thought about this project is an
optimistic approach. I thoroughly
enjoyed be creative and attempting to express my thoughts through three dimensional
forms. I found it difficult because of
all the responsibilities I juggle, however, during the creativity process and
actual construction of the mask I noticed that I was enduring elated feelings. Again, I think art is great, because the
projects and readings I now understand why it is required as an elective for
studying. It allows a person to see how
art has a major influence on all of society.
