Abstract art is very unusual an confusing. Extortion appears in modern art to give new life to all form. In the Andy Warhol: Image of an Image I learned that Andy Warhol became internationally famous in the 1970's. He made art over images that basically covered the entire art. He published his own magazine. He would create silk screening of many famous people like Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Jackie O.

Mask making

Inspiration #1

I chose this at because of its aesthetics look with also the lines all over of it reminded me of a tiki kind of mask.

 Inspiration #2

 I chose this one because of the line of the mask the way it was used to make everything look more realistic.

I chose this one because of the texture  that show the dark spots being smother than the brown areas. The shape and value of the art.

In my art work I incorporated  line and color elements. The process of doing was that I wanted it show a sense vibrance using bright colors (blue, yellow, green, red) also to  making it seem more of comical and fun. I really enjoyed doing this because it was fun and a little bit different but in a interesting way. The tongue sticking is to show a sense of fun.
