Instruction
Create a masking form within 30 minutes. Your partner for the project will be modeling it.
Purpose
Explore simple masking forms as a foundation for the rest of the project. Investigate and observe what covering certain areas of the body/face does to an outside observer.
My Interpretation
As me and Fabian (my partner pictured above) talked, we explored the conversation of our own faces quite a lot and why we present ourselves the way we do. We eventually reached the topic of eyebrows due to my eyebrow piercing and his mother waxing his eyebrows when he was younger. With that idea in my head, I started to think about eyebrows as a whole, how they communicate so much information and how hard it is to read someone when you can’t see them. I decided to lean into this and entirely cover the eyebrows up to the forehead, contouring the lines to match the curves of the forehead, nose, and eye sockets. If i had more time, I would’ve designed more on the front facing flat side, but unfortunately I had to just leave it blank and geometric.
