Emotive Mask Project

Grade 5 - 2015/2016

Wait this was supposed to be the first post??? I didn't get around to cleaning it up until ~3 weeks after I'd queued up all of the tumblr posts 😭

Ig I'll see how making the post date in the past works >:)

Anyways what I can remember of the prompt was that we were supposed to make masks that represent a specific emotion. We were in pairs and I did it with my friend.

Making it out of wood was not a requirement, but I'd gotten it in my head and I knew my dad wld be able to cut the wood for me 😋I made a paper mockup, and then my dad took care of cutting and gluing together the pieces. Two masks were made, one for my friend and one for me.

iirc, the emotion I was going for was happiness, but it really doesn't read that way. There used to be paper fluff stuff hanging from the back, but the birds ate that stuff up. They also bit a whole bunch of chunks into it 😭

I don't remember what happened for it to break that badly. Prolly fell

Acrylic paint on wood.
