Description Me in the mask I made at school, basically made out of glue and old newspapers.
I bought a really cheap pair of plastic sunglasses at a second-hand store, cut them into smaller pieces and glued them to the inside of the mask so my eyes wouldn't be visible.

Everybody in my class have mede their own masks, wich we're going to put on the wall together with a portrait of someone wearing the mask (It's going to be this one for me) on something we call "open house", wich is a day when the school invites people to come watch and learn a little about the different lines that the school provides.
We were suppoused to take inpiration from venetian masks [link] , but prettymuch everyone ignnored that and made it their own way instead (me too, though the teatchers have been saying "Very good, it really looks venetian!" about my mask).
We're also putting up A3 color-pencil pictures inspired by the dutch artist Anekke Eussen.
Here we were suppoused to make pictures of people in different poses, but for some reason I made a big, colorful frog. I've finished it not long ago (it turned out really good), so now I'm making another color-pencil pic...

... of Disney's Gummybears.


Comments are appreiciated!


EDIT: I got the name for the title from the Raven King from Susanna Clarke's Novel "Jonothan Strange & Mr Norrell".

The mask actually turned out really nice. Fun to see it after you have been talking about it. Sort of like the shinyness of it. Laquer? Have you worked with (=sandpaperered) the surface of it before painting? And it looks venetian.

Thanks
Yes, first i used putty on the surface and sandpapered it. Then I painted it with acrylic colours and used a couple of layers of twig-laquer (kvistlack).
