EXQUISITE CORPSE
For this project we had to do a mix media project. I decided to do a mask for this project since someone was doing bones for one of their projects. My mask was a ram skull. I did this project right around the time of Halloween and i thought that it kept the whole theme of Halloween.
I started this project with a balloon even though there isn't a picture of it. I used the balloon to get the shape of the head and then i started adding cardboard to it to make it look more like a skull of a Ram. I added three parts to the back
This is the project sketch of what it is supposed to look like. I was going to tie a wooden person to the horns to make it look like it was being controlled by the beast.

At this pint point i was had already made the horns. I then started to add news paper to the outside of the entire thing more sturdy. The hardest part about this was the horns because there was a lot of curves on them. The next step was to add paper towels to the outside to give it a smooth feel to it.
THis is the skull mask after it had been painted. I painted the actual skull a creamy color to make it look like an actual skull. The horns were painted brown to make them pop more. The mesh that i placed inside the eyes i spray painted them black to make them darker.

This is how the project looked like when someone wore it. I later decided to add mesh on the inside of the eye sockets to not be able to see into it as much. You can still see well out of it but anyone trying to see into it would have a hard time doing so. I had friends help me cover the thing in news paper and paper towels because it was taking too long for me to do it by myself.
