PAINTING TO MUSIC

2 genre of music 

CLASSICAL vs POP

It was really awesome and a nice experience . I really get into the songs and paint it out . I used only hands without any brushes , because with ur hand and finger can present the wave more clearly and different from what it showed with brush . Bottom one ,the classical music has a soft , cool rhythm and also emotional . So i used blue , yellow and red . Blue represented the calm and ocean that cool feelings . Red represented the hot  , emotional and also some of impatient feeling . Yellow represented the mother of earth , is like the sun giving life to the earth , giving bright . Top one , pop music i used yellow , red , green , grey and blue . There included some rock music too , so i used blue , yellow , orange and red to paint some chains to showed the rock of the music . And there is a FACE middle of the canvas and is spreading out and shining .

Documentary ??

Documentary films constitute a broad category of nonfictional motion pictures intended to document some aspect of reality, primarily for the purposes of instruction or maintaining a historical record.^[1] A 'documentary film' was originally shot on film stock—the only medium available—but now includes video and digital productions that can be either direct-to-video, made as a television program or released for screening in cinemas. "Documentary" has been described as a "filmmaking practice, a cinematic tradition, and mode of audience reception" that is continually evolving and is without clear boundaries.

Here u go - MY MASK

A very colorful mask . This mask represented me . A happy , hyperactive , mischievous mask .

the left side , i applied the color of orange for the background is because orange represented happy and mischievous . And i used black to make a back circle around the eye , and a really mischievous eyebrow . A very strong feelings , when u see that you wanted to punch me . The right side of my mask , applied as colorful , hyperactive mask . And the eyebrow added words " HIT ME " .

MASK

What is MASK ????? 
Usually the proper way we explained about mask is an object normally worn on face, typically for protection , disguise , performance or entertainment . Masks have been used since antiquity for both ceremonial and practical purposes. They are usually worn on the face, although they may also be positioned for effect elsewhere on the wearer's body, so in parts of Australia giant totem masks cover the body, whilst Inuit women use finger masks during storytelling and dancing

But in my way to say , mask is also a face that we can hide behind it or we wants role taking in the character we like . 
Not only that , masks also a good face to hide our expression giving mysterious and also hide your weakness with a mask . 

The Phantom of The Opera , when he is with the mask , he is confidence and he looks like another person .

But , when he took off his mask , he is afraid and lose all his confidence , he is afraid of people look on his face . This is the one of what i'm saying , using the mask as a new faces and hide behind of it .

This is another different way of using mask . Some of them create a horror movie with using mask . They created a scary , creepy faces . They using this mask to frightened peoples . They using it with confidence .

CHINA MASKS

In China masks are thought to have originated in ancient religious ceremonies. Images of people wearing masks have been found in rock paintings along the Yangtze River. Later mask forms brings together myths and symbols from Shamanism and Buddhism.This is another way of using masks , they use it as a chinese dramatic art . They called it as Bian Lian (变脸) . They change their mask within a second .

4 ways of face changing :

Blowing Dust (simplified Chinese: 吹脸)

The actor blows black dust hidden in his palm or close to his eyes, nose or mouth, so that it obscures his face.

Beard Manipulation (simplified Chinese: 髯口功夫)

Beard colors can be changed while the beard is being manipulated, from black to gray and finally to white, expressing anger or excitement.

Pulling-downing Masks (simplified Chinese: 扯脸)

The actor can pull down a mask which has previously been hidden on top of his head, changing his face to red, green, blue or black to express happiness, hate, anger or sadness, respectively.

Face-dragging (simplified Chinese: 抹脸)

The actor drags greasepaint hidden in his sideburns or eyebrows across his face to change his appearance

The Mask of Zorro , it is about a mysterious avenger . Is just with a black plain mask. This is another way to hide his face with using mask .

Final outcome : ICON

This is my icon . The first you can see that's a light bulb . Look through it , it is actually a snail inside of the light bulb , and is squeezing . Around the snail , that are bubbles . I applied my icon to the book . I used a light bulb , because light bulb can pointed u to the right way and can bright up . Not only that , when you're thinking the light bulb will appeared in your mind is like " DING " . The squeezing snail inside the light bulb that is because i like snail and usually i drew snail and i wanna make it more cartoon cause is for a story books . Not only that , the snail's shell actually is something there . There is a green color with alphabet "J" , green represented nature . The pink "Y" , that represented sweet . The following alphabet light blue of "C" ,  represented harmony . The alphabet of orange "X" is represented to healing . The alphabets of "J","Y","C" and "X" is actually short form of my name , Joanne Yen Chang Xin . Bubbles around the snail , i used few colors such as blue, red and violet , this is because the colors represented energy , this showed that the energy bubbles . The bubbles that can give you energy . Violet represented spirit , red represented life and blue represented harmony . The colors also showed the contrast . After that , i applied the icon to the cover of books . I wanted to have my own story books for kids , so whenever see the icon that can represented me . What actually inspired me , it is not due to my researched , is totally inspired on my own .

A self-portrait is a representation of an artist, drawn, painted, photographed, or sculpted by the artist.Although self-portraits have been made by artists since the earliest times, it is not until the Early Renaissance in the mid 15th century that artists can be frequently identified depicting themselves as either the main subject, or as important characters in their work. With better and cheaper mirrors, and the advent of the panel portrait, many painters, sculptors and printmakers tried some form of self-portraiture.Self-portrait may be a portrait of the artist, or a portrait included in a larger work, including a group portrai
