The main element I wanted to focused on was color. I wanted my mask to have colors that helped one another look better. All in the combination from each other. I created a piece inspired by Mama Tingo black women that is a character in the carnivals of my culture. I wanted to capture her face. She is a decedent of Africa and the Indians of DR. However, she is Dominican by hearth. She is however accustom to the traditions of the Europeans. She is a combination of the three races of the Dominican Republic.

5. Share your opinion of your finished mask and what you thought about creating the mask.
I thought that creating a mask was going to be difficult. However, when I got inspired I took my roommates cereal boxes and created a mask. It was fun because I got to put a little of my culture in to it.
