1. Upload the three (3) inspiration images to your Blog. Explain why you selected the inspiration pieces.
The Balaclava, is a mask that originally was designed for cold weather protection in wars or by anyone. The representation of the mask has changed to being for protection, privacy, or used by terrorists'. I chose this mask because it is a mask that I felt is relevant to the culture that I grew up around that suffered with a lot of crime and violence.
The Columbian mask is known for being used for burial purposes of a corpse or worn at ceremonies. I chose this mask because it was differently solid than other historical masks.
The Japanese Noh Masks which are typically made with greater quality than U.S. cultures. Japanese masks were likely made with creativity and workmanship. I chose this mask because it was different from other masks I came across and the proportions were realistic.
4. Explain how you used the Elements and Principles in your finished mask.
The elements and principles I used is line, emphasis, texture, and shape. Line and shapes were used throughout my masks to associate with certain objects. Texture is shown on certain parts of my masks representing the strong core that I have developed from experiences in the "culture" that I had. Emphasis is made on the scares across the face to stand out and make a boldness statement representing traumas.

5. Share your opinion of your finished mask and what you thought about creating the mask.
My finished mask name is "Unknown" which I chose because completing the readings about masks, I was not able to identify truly what my culture is. Moving to New York, the number one thing that stood out to me was the culture and unity that I seen by the people around me and events. I was not able to understand why I never grew up with a strong culture that had representational meaning, but I had to simply accept that I did not. With everything that is going on, I have seen two different cultures dealing with this world pandemic. While being back in Ohio and creating my mask I could not help but to think about all things I have grew up around and motivated me to have a better mindset due to me not necessary identifying with culture.
