Mask practice

During our lecture we were tasked with making a mask, in one hour, from found material, as a practice test before embarking on the real thing. 

The aim of this task was to make us feel more confident about playing with materials and not overthinking a concept or idea. Ultimately, the task was to have fun! I have used a limited range of materials, including cardboard from amazon packaging, card, paint samples and posca pens for detail. I really enjoyed this task, as I often find myself overthinking and worrying about it looking good, which inhibits me from having fun. I think if I had had more materials to put to use I could have had even more fun and created something much more three dimensional. I recently found an Instagram account which made me chuckle called @eyesonamazon and it reminds me of this mask and just shows that you can make art from anything and have fun at the same time!
