LOH YONG MEI-HBP: Project 2C: The 101 Mask

The 101 Mask

26th July 2010

0900-1100

On Monday, Dr Abdel Naser had taught us about the layer. His presentation was about 15-20 minutes and he gives us to see a movie which can link with the layer. After that, Dr. Wan gave us a project again. In this project, we have to make two masks:

First mask: own full face, same skin colour
Second mask: face with emotion, only black and white

After the class, I went to the stationary shop to buy some material such as glue, water colour, balloon and so on. Then, I start doing my project at 8 o'clock in the evening. Below is the picture of material that I had been used in this project.

First of all, I cut the newspaper in the small pieces and put it in the pail which contains the water. This is because the wet paper can easily paste on the balloon.

After that, I paste these papers on the balloon following the shape of balloon and repeating layer by layer.

Then, I dry the balloon by hanging it near to the window and expose it to the sunlight.

The next day, I separate the newspaper and the balloon .The newspaper had become the shape of balloon and harder.

I also paste the white colour paper on top the newspapers so it looks more nicely.

On Wednesday, I just know that I do the wrong step because I can't make my eye and nose on the mask because it too hard already. Oops.....I had to re-do my mask again..........

At that night, I start to make the new mask. In the beginning, I put the plastic on my face to prevent it expose to the tissue papers and newspaper. Then, I paste the wet tissue above the plastic with glue and the next layer was the newspaper. I had been waiting for about 10-15 minutes until the shape to be seen.
