Assignments #11 -Alter Ego Mask

NWSA: Art 3-D Comprehensive   
Spring 2018 / Friday/1:10pm - 3:45pm Room 5102
Instructors: Hans Evers & Lauren Shapiro

Think of an aspect of your personality that the world doesn't normally see. Your challenge is to create a mask (think of it as a sculpture for your head) that represents that concept without illustrating it. Don’t do anything ‘TRITE’! This “mask” shouldn't look like anything you've seen before; approach the project in any way that makes sense to you. The materials are up to you. Let the forms, lines, colors and materials you use speak about your concept. You will wear the mask during critique on April 6th.

Your must submit at least two DIFFERENT proposals (2D &  3D sketch) via reminds to your instructor on/before Friday 3/23!

Requirements:
• The mask must obscure most, if not all of your face. 
NO STORE-BOUGHT MASKS. This is not a Halloween mask.
• Some element of the mask should extend at least 12 inches from your head.
• Think about how you will wear it. Don’t be afraid to get your shoulders and upper body involved as part of the mask, or as a way to wear it.
• You will be graded on your effort as well as your creativity, thoughtfulness, technique, and skill in making the mask.

You will have three weeks to work on the project. There is no class on 3/23 & 3/30, so you will do this project at home.
