I picked this image because I love Mardi Gras and these masks reminded me of that.
I picked this image because I wanted to do a mask that was simple but elegant. I also wanted to incorporate the picture below The Great Wave because I like the message of that painting. This mask kind of gave me an idea how to incorporate what I wanted in my mask.
I picked this picture because it is about courage and perserverence. That is completely me. I go to school and work full-time and have a 5 year old so this picture is perfect. I wanted my mask to reflect who I am.

My Mask
The Principles and Elements of my mask are:
- Color - I wanted to represent The Great Wave so I made the biggest part of the mask which is the face light blue and I used white feathers for the waves but I also wanted to give it a Mardi Gras feel so I used some gold around the eyes and outlined the mask.
- Texture - The mask has a smooth texture to it and the feathers give it a light and hairy feel to it.
- Shape - The shape is oval like I would picture an ocean and the feathers give it that wave shape. The gold is just a bunch of fun shapes put together to give it that exotic Mardi Gras look.
-Variety - I wanted my mask to have a variety of things to it. I wanted to get the viewers attention but not overwhelm them.
Here is just all these pictures in the Photobucket Slideshow
