Process
The Polyhedral project phase A was not one of my favorites. I didn't know where to start and didn't understand the project at first which made it confusing. Once I understood the concept and how to make it, the development was a little easier. I still didn't really enjoy constructing my mask or the final result. I chose these polyhedrals because of the shape and volume. The face needed to be somewhat flat or completely flat so that I could draw the face on and have it look the way I wanted. The headpiece and bottom embellishment were all triangular shapes because it presented the way I had wanted it too. I took the pyramids and dipyramids and cut some and half and cut through the folding creases so I could peal back each face of the polyhedrals so that I would get more volume and the look of a Venetian mask's headpiece that I wanted. The colors I chose were because they looked really energetic and similar to the colors some Venetian masks have. I also thought the use of the complimentary colors would help create an interesting contrast. Even though I didn't like the project I do like how the colors of my mask work with each other.
