Artists Develop Art Making Skills - When first approaching my mask artwork, I was going to just make a flat oval shape. I had no idea how i was going to get everything inside the edges of the oval to pop out so it wouldn't all be flat on the board. I then saw a new technique on my teachers art page called the soft mold method or "Drop" method. After reading about the technique, I then applied it to my artwork. I first rolled out a large slab the size of the board. Second, I took the slab off then put a bag of rice on the board and formed it the way i wanted the way my mask to look. Lastly i put the slab over it and dropped it on the ground. Now I didn't have a flat oval.
Artists Collaborate / Community - A fellow artist at my table shared a new technique with me which helped me get pass a tough obstacle in my artwork. He showed the soft mold method, i then did further research about the method on my teacher's website. I also saw that he made a scary mask which inspired me to do the same. However I planed on making mine much scarier than his adding more detail to mine.
