Masks
Masks have been used for various purposes throughout history including protection, disguise, performance, and entertainment. They can be made from materials like wood, paper, clay, metal and more. Different cultures used masks for ceremonies, rituals, theater, and celebrations. Today, masks are still used in performances and celebrations like Mardi Gras where colorful masks are worn during parades and balls to commemorate the Christian tradition before Lent.
Masks
Central and South American masks have a long history dating back to 3000 BC where they were used in religious ceremonies. Masks often featured human and animal features blended together and were used in rituals associated with rain and fertility. The Catholic church later banned jaguar images and costumes due to their association with native religions, though jaguar representations still feature prominently in modern celebrations in the region.
masks
Masks have been used for at least 20,000 years for various purposes across civilizations. They often represent forces of nature or are used in rituals and ceremonies related to fertility, seasons, and life cycles. Many cultures believe that masks contain supernatural power and that the spirit of the mask performs rather than the person wearing it. One important aspect of masks is their ability to transform identity and allow the wearer to take on different roles or realities.
Intro to printmaking
Printmaking is a form of art that involves transferring ink from a matrix, such as linoleum, to paper to create multiple copies of the same artwork. The document discusses the history and types of printmaking, including relief printing which uses linocuts. It provides instructions for creating a linocut print, including sketching a design, transferring it to linoleum, carving away areas to create the design, inking the linoleum, and printing the design onto paper. Creating prints with multiple colors requires cleaning and re-carving the linoleum between applying each color.
Oil Pastel Technique
Oil pastels can be used in a variety of techniques including stenciling, blending, impasto, hatching and cross-hatching, parallel brush strokes, using fragmented colors, and scratching. The stencil technique involves using oil pastel as a backdrop covered by an ink wash, watercolor, or diluted acrylic paint, allowing the pastel to show through. Blending involves mixing colors using fingers, stumps, or solvents. Impasto creates thick, dense lines that bring out texture and intensity. Hatching and cross-hatching underline relief and create varied hues and textures.

Principles of design and masks
The document discusses 5 principles of design - balance, contrast, rhythm, texture, and color - that will be used to analyze masks. It defines symmetrical balance as placing elements in an even way that can identify a line of symmetry. It describes contrast as the arrangement of opposite elements, and rhythm as a visual pattern or repetition. Texture refers to either the actual feel of 3D art or the visual feeling of 2D art. Color is defined by its hue, intensity, and value.
Textures
The document defines texture as the tactile quality of an object's surface, such as its softness or roughness, which is determined by the material used to make the object. It distinguishes between natural textures, which are textures that occur naturally, and artificial textures, which are human-made. It also distinguishes between tactile texture, which is the actual texture that can be felt, and visual texture, which is a simulated texture created through artistic techniques like painting or drawing. The document then provides instructions for two texture-related art projects - creating a texture template and making a mask with various applied textures.

Print making report
Printmaking is the process of making multiple artworks through various techniques involving transferring ink from a matrix or screen onto paper or other material. The main printmaking techniques discussed include intaglio methods like engraving, etching, mezzotint and aquatint where ink is pressed into lines or tones on a plate before printing; lithography which uses the repulsion of oil and water to create images on stone or metal plates; and screenprinting which forces ink through a fabric stencil using a squeegee. Artists over centuries have experimented with these techniques to produce artistic prints.
Printmaking
There are a few key reasons why the face, and self-portraits in particular, have been so prominent in the history of art:
1. The face is one of the most expressive parts of the human body. Artists have long used facial expressions and features to convey emotions, thoughts, and psychological states. Self-portraits allow artists to directly explore and communicate their own inner experiences.
2. Portraiture has historically been one of the major genres of art, used to document important people and events. Self-portraits allowed artists to insert themselves into history and assert their own identity and importance.
3. The development of mirrors made self-portraiture technically possible for the first time. This coincided
Mosaics
Tile and glass mosaics can be used for architectural decoration by creating a sense of depth through shading with pieces of different materials. Examples shown include Antoni Gaudi's colorful mosaic at Park Güell in Barcelona using tiles, a Van Gogh mosaic in progress showing shading through shapes of light and dark in the face, and mosaics in subway stations in Boston and New York using tiles, bottlecaps, and other found objects as well as paper collages and magazine collages by students.

Still life
A still life is a drawing or painting of inanimate objects arranged by the artist. Setting up an effective still life composition requires choosing a location with good lighting, including architectural elements for direction, and selecting interesting objects to demonstrate value and composition skills. When creating a still life drawing or painting, artists should plan the arrangement of objects, sketch the composition lightly, add value gradually to define shapes rather than using hard lines, and aim for a full range of tones. Proper drawing position and taking time to plan the composition before rendering details are also important tips for developing still life works.
Printmaking
Printmaking is an indirect means of creating art by transferring an image or design by contact with a matrix such as a block, plate, stone, or screen.
Element of Art - Value

The history of masks
The history of masks stems from various cultures and traditions around the world. Masks allow someone to represent another entity and were used in ancient Egypt funerals to guide spirits. Ancient Greek theater masks helped audiences understand characters and amplified actors' voices. During the Middle Ages, masks portrayed religious themes and plague doctors wore distinctive beaked masks. The Renaissance saw the rise of masks in Italian theater. Asian traditions included stylized Noh masks in Japan representing specific characters. Modern masks continue in films to distort faces and create horror.
identity and masks
A person's identity is comprised of both their physical appearance and personal characteristics like hobbies and talents. A mask allows someone to take on a new identity by disguising their face. Masks were invented by different cultures to represent important aspects of their traditions. For example, some African masks represented spirits or animals that were important to the culture and wearing the masks in rituals allowed people to take on the identities and powers of those spirits or animals. Chinese masks often depicted animals that held cultural significance like the dragon, which symbolizes power and good luck.

Historical context of mask making
Masks have a long history dating back to at least 7000 BC when they were used for ritual purposes. Early masks were likely made of perishable materials like leather that have not survived. In Western Africa beginning in ancient times, large wooden masks were expertly crafted and used in ceremonies, especially following the death of an important tribal figure. These masks were often animal representations and were believed to allow communication with animal spirits. Common animal masks included antelopes, and facial features symbolized traits like wisdom or aggression. Masks played an important cultural role in ancient Greece as well, originally being used to honor Dionysus and in comedies and satyr plays, with elaborate masks developing as theater competitions emerged around 486 BC.
