Project 5- The Mask( Speculative)

Hi. I am going to introduce and give some detailed information on the process of making the mask and the feeling of my mask.


This weekends were tough for HBP students because we had to take part in the orientation week and complete the project 5 brilliantly at the same time. My room mate was not a HBP student. Hence, I teamed up with a few good friends who are from RESTU. I have walked from Fajar Harapan to Restu for the past two nights for the sake of the project 5.


I and my teammates went to Tesco to buy some materials like tissue papers, A4 paper, flour and colour. We did not use white glue. Instead we used a more eco-friendly method that we made our own glue by mixing "tepung ubi kayu" with hot water.


It was a great fun working with the teammates. At first, we gathered lots of information on the process of making a good paper mache mask. Then, we started doing "facial treatment" for our friends when we stared putting on tissue on friends's faces and started glueing them. Haha. The A4 paper were torn into smaller pieces then we glue the mask for several layers of papers so that the mask will not collapse.

 I was anxiously waiting for my "facial treatment". Haha

 Haha. Mine is done finally. Victory!

Next, I had to figure out what I was going to paint on the mask to show its feeling and make it look more attractive. I surfed the internet and hear the heed from my friends. Finally, I decided to make a mask that looks happy and calm because I am always positive. 


I DECIDED TO MAKE A MASK THAT LOOK CONTENDED AND RELAXED WHEN ENTERING A HAPPY SPACE LIKE ENTERING A WELL-ORGANISED AND DECORATED MASK PARTY .


I sketched the masquerade mask pattern on my mask before painting. I chose red and yellow colour as my major colours because red symbolises energy and passion whereas yellow represents warmth and happiness.

Completed and Nice

In addition, the project 5 has also inproved the relationship between me and my friends. It requires us to work in a team and help each other. Moreover, we also went for supper or a short break when we are tired of doing the project.

Yummy. My supper with friends.

To conclude, it was a fun project where I have learned a lot from lecturer and friends like the ways to identify and draw the facial expressions that shows different feelings . At the same time it has also improve the interaction of the students because I met and knew new friends.


Thanks.
