Module 10 Mask creation

Image result for basic diablo cojuelo mask

Attached above are the inspirations of my desired mask. These masks are called the "Diablo Cojuelo" masks. These masks are a tradition in the Dominican Republic and are used during the time of carnival. Carnival begins around February for Dominican independence, and could go throughout Holy week in in Easter. I have been inspired to create my own version of a Diablo Cojuelo just in time for the Easter holiday. Below is my sketch of what I want my mask to look like.

Here is the finalized version of my mask:

Modules 7's video reviews

In the prairie school clip, one of the key concepts that I learned was about architecture becoming a style. This was something that became natural to society, and this is what made it a style. In the second video architecture as art it was described that architecture was something that becomes a language that flourishes more and more as time goes on. This means that it becomes something that is used in the everyday life. The videos relate to the readings in the text because in the text the history of architecture and how the structures of buildings, and designing came about. In my opinions I think these films were very informative and they were able to explain to viewers more in-depth about architecture, and the background behind it. I loved it because construction interests me so I love learning more about those things. I chose the films that I watched by random selection. I didn’t know what exactly they would be about but I am glad I picked the ones that I did because t...

While creating the Color Wheel I was a bit challenged at first because I wasn't sure if I would make the colors correctly like it was shown in the video. After I had noticed that I did it correct, and it became fun to watch the colors blend together, and produce other colors. The media that I enjoyed working with the most was the color wheel.

I like working with paint, and painting things and although we were not instructed to paint a object or create a picture with it, it was still fun to put the colors together, and see what can be created from that. In my opinion an important discovery that I ha...

Color has many different effects on emotions. These colors have unpredictable effects on our emotions, but with that being said many artists may use vibrant colors to display an effect of happiness, they may also use dark colors to be more dramatic during sad emotions. The theoretical aspects of color that fascinates me the most are the different properties of color. Meaning the different primary colors and the things that are associated with them that put them in the category of primary colors. Red, yellow, and blue are categorized as primary colors because they are not able to be made by mixing any other colors together. I n the videos the biggest impact on me what that we associate different colors with feelings, or places, and memories. These colors could take us back to a certain time in our lives, and we connect these colors with those things.
