A mask is an object normally worn on the face, typically for protection, disguise, performance or entertainment. Masks have been used since antiquity for both ceremonial
and practical purposes. (source Wikipedia)
Other words used to describe a mask include: conceal, disguise, false face, pretense, veil, front, facade, concealment, cover up, camouflage.

Problem - Construct a mask using textile techniques. Your mask can be celebratory, ceremonial, entertaining, theatrical, decorative, ethnic, or personal. It can represent a
culture, an animal, a celebrity, or a layer of self that you wish to expose.

Process & Development - Keep a sketchbook / journal, recording your creative process. Research, sketch, journal and photo document your work along the way. Each artist will write a statement describing your inspiration and process to be exhibited alongside your work.
