Civilization Collapse Essay
The Civilization Collapse Essay is what we're currently working on in Humanities. It's where we have to build off of a civilization and at the same time, construct a collapse scenario. For mine, I used our modern society and my collapse scenario was the lack of resources that our world may be facing sometime in the future.
Mask Project
The mask project was where we had to create a mold of our faces using plaster and Plaster of Paris. Then once the plaster set, (this took a few days), we sanded and smoothed the surface and backside of the mask. Then once it was strengthened with a couple more layers of plaster, we sanded it once more and covered it in gesso,(a kind of paint-like primer). Then we put down the base coat of paint, mine was skin-tone. Then we started painting the details. Mine showed the six most important aspects of my life; family, friends, art, athletics, being a teenager, and music. once we painted the details, we put our masks on display at our exhibition at the Strater Hotel. We prepared for the exhibition for about a week and a half. We also wrote essays explaining how we've been socialized and how we've been socialized has affected us throughout our lives. Mask Essay
