My Mask Journey

I loved making my mask this year, it was really fun. My favourite part was the painting because I could expressive and the design and colours were up to me. My least favourite part was doing the modeling paste. I didn't like it because it was time consuming and I wanted to start painting as soon as possible.

Halfway through painting my mask, I thought it looked boring, because it was very plain as the purple spots were not on yet and the mask was just yellow, orange and red. I agreed with Ms. Hampton when she said that the spots made it.

In the end I am very happy with my mask. I think the colours are right and in general, it looks amazing! Well at least I think it does. I hope that next year, art will be this fun!

P.S. I tried to upload photos of my mask but the internet wouldn't upload them.

Reason for Colours

I chose to paint my mask red, orange, yellow, blue, purple, green and black with purple spots because it shows the animal's personality. My animal's characteristics are shown through the colour and design of my mask. It's personality is made up of the three animals I used. Bubble-eyed goldfish is fun, strange, happy and bright (colour). This is shown in the bright colours of the mask, such as orange. yellow and green and the huge eyes. The blue ringed octopus is beautiful but deadly and is shown in the darker colours, like purple and blue, and also in the purple spots. The green tree snake is silent, quick and dangerous. This piece of personality is shown in, yet again, the darker colours and the sudden change in colour, going from the tentacles to the body.
