me myself and my art

so here's the process in creating my piece of art , the mask ,and thanks to my friends , intan , saadah and faridah , i've manage to complete my mask ,it was the co-orpirative spirit that led us  to  this outcome .so we started to work on this mask on Friday night , we are afraid if the process took a lot of time to dry so we start early , we started doing this about 130 am in the morning

1st step 

the first step is shown in the first picture , which is to cover my face with plastic so that the papier mache wont stick to my face , i make sure that there was enough holes so that i wont suffocate in the plastic -___-

2nd step 

2nd step is the second picture , which was to fully cover my face with dipped-in-glue-tissue paper.It was really cooling , i feel like i was doing a facial :p

3rd step

the third picture shows the 3rd step which is to cover newspaper on top of the tissue , there was 2 layers of newspaper which was aligned vertically and horizontally . 

4th step

the last step is to cover white paper on top of the newspaper layers. ( i was sleeping ,it felt sooo good) after several minutes the papier mache mask was hard enough to stand without my face as a base , so my friends took it out . and we went directly to sleep bcs it was already 5 am in the morning.  below here is the outcome of the papier mace mask. 

yeayyyy my outcome , so the next morning ( saturday morning) we had orientation so i set an alarm to wake up , but then i didnt hear anything , that was the first time i overslept because of staying up at night(it was also the first time i stayed up doing my RUS104 assignment) , but i didnt blame my work , i was happy but also panicking to rush to the orientation . it was a great experience , it thought me to manage my time properly and to train me for my future .so after the orntation finished , it was 1 o'clock in the morning that i finaly reached to my hostel , M04 saujana which was at the very top , and there it was , major meltdown , i was tired and missing home :( and plus my assignment :(   , i told myself to suck it up and not to act like a baby so i went and took a long bath . after that i was feeling much more better , so i started brainstorming on the facial expression of my mask  . and i came up with this . 

i finished the papier mache mask on sunday afternoon, and was pretty happy with the outcome,

GRATEFUL 

that is the expression/ feeling of my mask , why grateful? there are a plenty of reasons why i am grateful , i am grateful with my life ,since i was brought up to this world i've been blessed with such a loving parents , wonderful family and perfect friends, i am grateful to Allah for creating me and giving me such a beautiful and perfect life , ive been blessed with capability to think and act as a proper human being , i am blessed by being alive in this world today , for being in usm , for being able to talk to hear to eat and to do the things that i love to do . even though sometimes times are hard on me but i will always be grateful to Allah for giving me the opportunity to live my life.

BLUE

The color of ocean and sky,blue comes to me as something that is really cooling and can sooth my mind .it is one of the collective color of the spirit, it appeals to  rest and can cause the body to produce chemicals that are calming. That is how i feel when i am blessed , i feel calm and at rest

GREEN

although there are just a glimpse of green on my mask , it still symbolized something to me , besides being a good match to the color blue , it is also a natural balance of cool and warm (blue and yellow) . green is the main color of the natural world , that is what i want to symbolized , my feeling on the mack is natural .green also brings the feeling of fresh and peace.
