Question: !.!.!.!.!.Masks!.!.!.!.!?
OK I have a final summative project in which I have to make a mask that completely fits over a person's head(no light should be visible)!. Inside the mask, you can have LED lights to guide the person wearing mask through a maze!. The mask should be creative to get high marks!.
I thought of many different mask but I can;t come up with an idea that is unique and creative!. Can someone give me a good mask design!?!?
Please don;t say that I should make a IronMan or BatMan mask or something like that cause a lot of people are making it and its not very effective because the LED lights are gonna blind them!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

why don't you look at african art!? There are a lot of different tribal masks!. Maybe use google images (http://images!.google!.com/images!?sourceid!.!.!.
to get an idea at the variety which is out there!. Look through a quite a number of images until you find a style which you like!. It should be easy to adapt the style for a mask which covers the entire head!. Look e!.g!. at masks for the gelede ceremony of the yoruba, they use a carved mask together with cloth to cover the head as well!.

I find that the most beautiful and extravagant of masks are those of animals!. Birds especially, because there you have an opportunity to use feathers Rich blues and greens or vibrant oranges and reds!.
I think a South American bird would be perfect!. I'm always reminded of ancient Mayan and Incan artwork and culture!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
