A Winning Mask | Tribute to my country Venezuela
Today I bring something very different to what I usually show you :)... Today I bring you an artwork that is not a drawing but a piece of crafted work! This work is brand new and exclusively posted only to my Steemit!
Before showing the process let me explain why I made this mask:
Short description
I will try to explain as brief as possible the history of this "Winning Mask"
One of the activities that I love doing other than drawing is doing craft works with my hands, as I am currently working as a teacher and I am always creating different crafts for my children.
Every year in the preschool where I work we do a mask contest with a size of approximately one meter, in this contest all the teachers who work in this institution participate, the initiative of the school is to make the children participate in its realization and thus they they can develop creativity, taking into account that when performing different techniques they develop their fine motor skills.
The theme of the mask is free choice, so I did not hesitate a second to imbue it with Venezuelan motive because it is evident that our country is going through very hard moments. There has been a lot of tension and anguish and it is not time to celebrate, which is why in addition of making the mask (since it is a compulsory activity in the preschool) I wanted to include a message, which was: that despite the festivity (obligatory) at work, we never stop thinking about everything that is happening in Venezuela! This was my way to express the strong feeling that I have, an important message to me: that despite the obligations of day to day, Venezuela is always in our thoughts.
My main idea was to make a Venetian style mask, but if I wanted to do something unique I felt that I should add something more, that's why I took the headband that appears in this image as a reference.. It should be noted that every detail and technique used in this mask were of my own inspiration.
I hope you can appreciate the creation process, later I will show you all the masks that participated in the contest:
