Polyhedral Mask - Reflection

When I started doing research on polyhedral shapes I became interested with star polyhedrals.  I liked the uniqueness of the shape and I decided to do a star mask.  It wasn’t that difficult to come up with a concept with that shape and so I did a half mask.  I enjoyed this project very much because I could be more creative with what I wanted to do even though my mask was not as creative as some of the others.  I thought that for my mask less was more.

                My mask was comprised of stars and triangles as the triangle was the long piece at the tip.  The overall mask had an interesting shape and I focused a lot on how it will be placed on the face.  My only problem was that I was missing a 3rd shape which I could do in the form of horns or in some other form.  During critique everyone thought that it rests well on the face and that it had a strong color theme of red and black, one which I was proud of.

                My painting quality could have been better which took away from the piece.  Overall I really like this mask and I would like to make another one with better quality material to be used as an actual mask for some time in the future.  I learned how shapes can come together to make different forms in 3D.
