Neahloni1's artwork

"Arnold"

from school project "Prevent the Spread: Holiday Mask/Celebration Themed Mask"

Artist Statement (what Neahloni1 said about their artwork)

My mask is designed to look like.... Arnold from the show (Hey Arnold)! I didn't trace this picture either it's all about sketching out the whole body, the face, clothes and hair before drawing the person.

About this School Project (Prevent the Spread: Holiday Mask/Celebration Themed Mask)

Think about all of the holidays and special occasions that you celebrate with your family. Write down a list of all of the holidays, and events that you celebrate. It does not matter if the holiday is celebrated in intimate(in small group/personal) settings, or globally (in large groups). Design a mask that gets you in the holiday spirit! A mask that communicates Jubilation! Transform your face to look like Santa, depict what you like most about the holidays, or draw what you want for Christmas. Students will have access to a downloadable mask "template" that they can print and sketch their artwork in, or they can follow the video instructions to sketch out a template of their own that they can use to create a prototype for a custom-designed Covid Mask. Creatively, and thoughtfully designed as a multipurpose accessory that is 1. functional PPE (personal protection equipment): worn to prevent the spread of germs, 2. a fashion forward and modernaccessory expressing one's unique personality and style visually to others, and lastly 3. as a wearable work of art, an example of form, function, and design coming together harmoniously (in a way that works well).
