The first thing we did in this project was learning the content. A lot of the content was read but there were 2 movies that we watched. The titles of the movies are ‘The Mask You Live In’ and ‘Miss Representation’. The next thing I did was pick a topic that wanted to write about how games make or break the cycle of socialization. But after the first draft, I decided to change my topic to how I had been socialized to hide my good emotions. While I was writing the second draft I was also working on my mask design. Starting of with a paper drawing then after getting a grip of what I wanted on my masks, I started painting. By the time I was done with the second draft I had finished my masks
For most of this project, I was taking the most responsibility with my mask. But, I also found myself taking more responsibility with the writing part than I expected to. Though I feel as if inbound have done so much more with the writing than I did. But the past is in the past this is just something to keep in mind for now. Of course, when I was writing I signed up for essay criticism when I needed it. Even when I wasn’t feeling motivated I would talk to Stephen about it. Of course, in the end, I moved past the lack of motivation and finished the day of the exhibition…
This project made me realize that the world can be a very difficult place., I also realized that if someone could stand up and break the mold when world war 2 ended. Then I can make a change now. Even if I'm just a silly high school girl who likes to wear makeup, sing songs, dance and, read and write books. Then at least I know how to stand up for myself and others. I also now know that a breaking in the mold is needed more than ever and, this project has me determined to make some of the first cracks.
