Female Mask, Punu
People- This
mask is used to represent the beauty of a female. It portrays Punu ideals of
feminine beauty: rounded forehead, highly arched eyebrows, almond shaped eyes,
narrow face and small chin.
Hindu Festival Mask- This mask represent
unity of all the gods, and as well as the unity of humankind and all creation.
Nepalese Dhumma mask- This is an old mask that
depicts the god Dhumma. It is beautifully detailed and colored.
The first mask highlights a
particular way of how a group of people perceives beauty. The second mask
demonstrates how diversity of the different gods are all apart of humankind.
The old mask depicts a particular god. These three masks have inspired me to
design a mask that highlights different forms of beauty. In today’s world,
people tend to change their appearance in order have beauty features of what
society thinks its beautiful.
ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES:
Female Mask, Punu People
- This
mask demonstrates line, shape, form, a white color, texture, and balance.
Compared to the other mask, this particular piece did not have a diverse usage
of colors. It was white and had black curve lines. The artist used this element
in order to demonstrate one form of beauty and the whiteness of the spirit
world.

lines, shapes, forms, colors, texture, pattern, rhythm, movements, balance and
unity. The principle of balance is emphasis in order to highlight the
significance of unity.
Nepalese Dhumma mask - This mask demonstrates a
few elements and principles of art. The artist used colors, lines, shapes, and
forms. It also demonstrated patterns and balance. These elements and principles
were used to show the beauty of their God.

Final sketch:
I used the elements and principles of line, color, perspective,
rhythm, movement, scale, balance, unity and emphasis in order to achieve my
goal. My mask was created in order to send the message that beauty comes in all
form and shapes. I used the element of line to emphasis that one can have a
rounded, fat face or a narrow face but both face can portray beauty.
Creating a mask
was difficult at first because I did not know what message I wanted people to
convey. After figuring out the theme that I wanted to demonstrate, I had to be
creative in using the different elements and principles in order to achieve my
message. Overall, it was interesting in creating a mask that symbolized a
meaning or theme. I found it unique that one can use a mask in order to
persuade others in one’s belief and values.
