In our third project, we had to create a three-dimensional form using polyhedral units.Before starting the project I researched many different polyhedral forms and masks African, Asian, Native American, and Aztec to name a few..
The first phase of the project involved making a mask. I wanted to use many stars to give it a mysterious and mystical feel. I noticed in a lot f the African masks that they had long faces and long noses. I wanted to incorporate this into my mask. I made my nose the largest part of my mask. Violet and yellow are complementary colors which I used in my mask. I used bright colors to add to the mystical idea.
The second phase of the project involved using polyhedrals to create a wall structure. I use a twisted rectangles of all different lengths. I stacked them on top of one another leaving spaces to see through to the other side. The inside of the rectangles we painted multi color and the outsides were black. I chose to paint them this way because I pictured my wall structure in a space with white walls. I wanted to add subtle color. The cut outs in the rectangles allow for people to see the color from either side of the wall.
