Response 2: American Artist

Additionally, when I tried making a face it did not turn out the way I was planned. I felt the emotion part was hard to capture. I changed the shape from a fashionable Asian mask shape to a more medical-surgical mask shape in order to be read by a wider audience. How did you challenge yourself creatively, conceptually and/or technically in the making of this piece? If you did not feel challenged is there something you would do differently if you were to do it again? I challenged myself conceptually, I feel. Because I constantly had to be reevaluating whether my message was getting across and how people would interpret it sin...
