Speechless, originally uploaded by Kat – Rodenas Photography.
This week is all about plaster masks in the Art & Design class I teach. I asked the kids to make a mask that represents how they feel, or who they think they are…not just a pretty trinket to be thrown in a drawer or closet.
This is my mask…I “wear” it when I need to listen more, when I’m very tired, or when I have to disconnect from the real world for just a little while.
Along the way to getting this piece done, I had to remove the background of the original picture in Photoshop and added a little definition to the mask in Lightroom using the adjustment brush.
