Personal project

the research that i looked at made making a mask fun but difficult in ways.
so me and adam decided to go through with it.
me and adam had made a plan of our mask on paper and then coloured it to get a decent idea of what the actual mask would look like. we also made a model of the mask using plasterstine
we picked the type of design because it was something different as all the other masks looked basic and boring we picked this because the design looked pretty good and we didnt mind a challenge either.



me and adam decided to make the mask using paper mache as it was the possibly the most easiest and quickest way to make the mask.
it was also very easy to paint,im glad we choose paper mache because it was a hard but fun process.
we had the option of using chicken wire to make the mask but we thought that would of took to long and we thought it would of been quite a challenge as the wire can cut very easily so we kept is simple and basic and went with the paper mache option.

in the end the masks turned our pretty well and im glad we did this project
me and adam helped eachother through the full project so i thought it was quite decent.

Finished Animation

here is a picture of me adding titles and credits ,this was a pretty simple task and was quite fun in the process.


Since we moved classroom i had to add the music using windows movie maker , it was quite simple to be honest. i choose edward maya - Stereo love as the music.
here is the final animation as of now.




i found everything easy apart from making the models i wasnt to keen on doing that but in the end i got it completed with help from adam shaw.

well i would to alot of things different. i would work harder next time and plan out a story inside of just doing something very random. i would also use sound effects and not just a music track.

Animation

This the animation i produced.

i made it by using 2 plasterstine models.

i created one of them and adam shaw made the other one for me.

i used a program called iStopmotion and i captured the video my using an Mac camera.

it currently has no sound or credits i may have to do that at some point to improve the grade.

i need to download the delboy theme and also add a title and credits to the video next time im on the mac's.

Mask

This is my finished mask.
today we cut the paper mashe in half so it wouldnt be a big ballon anymore.
im quite happy with my mask to be honest.
it could be alot better but i have other work to do.

why am i happy with this work
i am happy with this work because i produced at my possible best. at times the work was abit hard but i got through it and got it completed.

what i learnt from it
ive learnt that to get work done you need be able to commit wish i will definitely be doing in the future as my work could of been much better that it is.

i would of planned in more detail to of improved my work and i would also spend more time detailing the work so the grade would be higher.

how does this compare to other maks
well my mask isnt as good as any of the masks we were planning on replicating but i guess my mask is just basic so id say its just a beginners test
me and adam choose to make the masks using paper mache because we found it to be the quickest and easiest way. we made the paper mache within 3lessons and painted it within 2-3 so it went quite well in my opinion.

Paper Mache


this is the paper mache we put three layers of paper onto it so its nice and solid, i made it today to make a mask with .next week i will be painting it in the colours me and adam designed.this was the worst ever we got glue everywhere it was all adams fault.

What we are going to do today

i was thinking about putting something like this together as one but creating it myself.

examples of life masks.



Here are to examples of life masks.

How To Make A Life Mask!

Step 1
Put the headband around the person's head you want to mask. Make sure all hair is out of the way. Then coat the petroleum jelly to the entire face -being sure to put extra along hair line, on eyebrows, eyelashes, and lips.
Step 2
Mix 1/2C of warm or cool water and 1/3c Plaster of Paris in bowl.
Step 3C
over each plaster strip- one at a time- into the mixture. Starting at the outer corners of the face, apply one at a time to face, overlapping each as you go.
Step 4
If you want the mask to have the eyes and mouth covered you of course, will need to cover these parts with plaster as well. Save this for last!
Step 5
Repeat layering of plaster strips for 2 layers- 3 around the delicate jaw areaStep 5Repeat layering of plaster strips for 2 layers- 3 around the delicate jaw area
step6
Add a bit more plaster to your mixture to make it more thick and creamy. Then apply to evenly smooth out mask.
Step 7
Wait 12-15 minutes for the mask to harden and dry.
step8
When the masked subject feels the mask is hard, have them wiggle their face and jaw to loosen the mask. Then very gently and slowly pull the mask downwards and remove it.These instructions were took from http://www.ehow.com/how_4987949_life-mask.html

Banksy

this is my favourite banksy image.
banksy communicates anti-war with his images, his medium is stencils and spray cans and my favourite image is the graffiti removal hotline

the bad artists imitate , the great artists steal

showing that the west is wild.
showing that graffiti would be like clearing away history.
that our nation is under cctv
funny image ,showing how stupid people can be.
one word PENIS

Banksy

Anonymous street graffiti artist
Banksy's real name has been widely reported to be Robert or Robin Banks.
he does his graffiti when no one is around,he also uses stencils.
nobody knows what he looks like.

the colour and effect is awesome.
the colour on this poster is amazing i really like it.

i like the effect on this picture.



i like this because it shows summer in one image.i dont see anything wrong with it either.



i like this photo the colour is amazing.i think they could off added to the bottom of the image though.




task 5

This was my idea of an iron man i know its basic but thats how i think.
the picture is just about iron man in a magnetic field. even though i haven't showed it is a magnetic field. the mood for this imagine is happy i don't know why but i just think it is.
i could to better but i dont want to as i think this is perfectly fine in my mind.

task 4

http://images.scholastic.co.uk/assets/cms/Hey-Diddle-Diddle---main-illustration.jpg


High diddle diddle,
The Cat and the Fiddle,
The Cow jumped over the Moon,
The little dog laugh'd to see such Craft,
And the Dish ran away with the Spoon.

i think it tells the story perfectly and it tells the story because everything in the picture happens in the poem.

Task 3

This image suggests that he is petrified and the mood is scared. its like he has seen something that he will never forget in his lifetime. i dont like this picture.

Task 2
