Project 2C : 101 Mask


26 Julay 2010.
We were given an excercise to produce 2 papier mache masks : Mask 1 : mask of students' own face in skin colour and Mask 2 : mask of face with emotion in black and white.

Here are the materials and the processes involved in this masks production.

The materials used :

1. Old newspaper.
2. Tapioca flour (tepung sagu ubi kayu/tepung kanji)
3. Hot water.
3. Paper glue.
4. A few art brushes.
5. Colouring.
6. Plastic wrappers.

The pr0cess :
1. My friend and I gathered some old newspaper and shred to small pieces.
2. Mix the tapioca flour and hot water in a bowl for home-made glue (macam kita nak kanji baju sekolah dulu-dulu...)
3. Mix paper pieces with sufficient amount of glue.
4. Lay the face with plastic wrappers and smother with even layer of paper glue. (You need a friend to do this on your face). Don't forget to leave the nostrils open... :p
5. Put the mixture of shredded newspaper and glue on the plastic. Put more glue and even out with the brush, following the contour of the face.


5. Put more paper and more glue...
6. "Mm mm mm mm mmm (Lama lagi ke?" Sabar... Another layer, some more glue... My friend helping me get my face "done".

... with another friend

7. Glorious facial mummy...


8. Wait to dry for about 3 hours at room temperature and the ceiling fan.


9. Once dry, remove the mask from the face... Let it dry further... and trim the edges to make it look clean.

10. Colour the mask... This one with original skin colour...


11. The process would be the same for both masks, except that the other one has a facial expression of emotion and painted in black and white only...

12. The products...

skin-coloured mask. Eyes too bold, lips redder than roses. Aww...



black and white mask with emotion... Must have something bothering me...

13. Then, during submission, we were requested to wear all-black attire and parade around HBP with the mask on. Aduiii...
