This is my final piece for commedia dell'arte final piece. To start with we mod-rocked our own heads to get the base shape of our mask. We then created a plaster inner so that it would be stronger and easier to work with as the next step we made a clay overlay which would actually be the shape of the final mask. After the clay process we used around 4-5 layers of latex and another 3 layers of latex and thickener. To finish off I used thickener, latex and paint so that I would get some colour onto my piece.
The resin I chose to have my design half white/ cream and half purple is because my character is the which and he main characteristics are that she is earth and magical and often witches deskies there selves as something which they aren't hence the purple. I also added the jagged and bumpy effect so that it would give the mask that earthed effect. Overall to improve the design I could of made the purple side looked more ripped off so it looks as if the mask was hiding the witch personality. But I am happy with the shape and earthed affect on the mask.
