I chose these three masks because they caught my attention. They weren't just of one color, like many I had seen. They are colorful and all three look as if they are trying to tell a story. The design and craftsmen ship is amazing and very detailed.
The first mask appears to be of a long face. The eyes are left open, for there is just a space without actual eyeballs. The mask appears to be all of one surface, there is not actual texture on the surface of the wood, but the designs all over the mask give visual texture.
The second mask has a lot going on. There are many different lines, designs, and textures. The shells towards the top of the mask are real, giving it a sort of rigid texture. It is full of color and different patterns, that all connect to one another. The eyebrows and flaps on either side towards the ear also have texture.
The third mask has texture all over it. There is texture at the top, where the fuzz and feathers are. There is texture at the bottom where it looks like it could be hay or straw fanning out from the chin. A ton of color is present, along with many lines, patterns, and designs.
All three of the masks are visually appealing.

When making my own mask, I wanted to make it look like my face, with curly hair and everything, but I'm not that artistic and wanted to save myself from the humiliation. So, I turned down different road. I wanted to make a mask that was different on both sides of the face, but that didn't cover the mouth. I wanted to show that everyone is different, hence the different sides of the mask. I included lines, patterns/rhythms, and lots of color. Using these elements and principles, I thought it would make the mask that much better. I liked creating this mask, I just wish that I could've done a replica of me, but that would've been quite the challenge and I used what materials that I had.
