Project Statement

Me and partner each made one mask under shared narrative. I want to explore how different people react to each other and the relationship between mask, wearer, and people who see it. The armor texture mask communicates the message to others that I am not really welcoming people while provide a barrier for wearer to protect himself.

Reflection

For this project, I have to make template for mask and each unit on mask. Instead of figuring out template by myself, I tried to make 3D model in Blender, and then put the file into another app to generate a template. I learned very very basic things about blender from YouTube which was challenging to me. There are still many places to explore design of the mask. Two outer sides of the mask are empty. I made this choice, because I think there is no other better ways than leaving it blank. Adding things might destroy the balance and harmony. I hope I could explore more on composition and different texture.
