Culture inspired mask

On one of the lessons we were creating culture inspired masks. At first we had to do some research and after choosing our inspiration we could proceed and prepare a sketch. I was fascinated especially by masks of some african and asian tribes. I wanted my mask to be influenced somehow by their culture. I decided to paint it white and add some elements in other colour. In my project I also predicted how my mask will be attached to head. I did not want it to be much pretty. White paint should remind peace and calmness but on the other hand the red color is about readiness to fight. Everything worked out well in my opinion and here are some photos of the mask.
