Greek Theatre Expression Mask

April 3, 2017 ASAA


(3rd Place – Sculpture)

Title of Art Piece: Greek Theatre Expression Mask
Category: Sculpture – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: Summer Putman
School: Juneau-Douglas High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:

In English class, we studied the plays of Ancient Greece. Actors would wear the masks so the audience, from far away, could see which character was in the scene at that moment. The masks were exaggerated to show the expression of the character. My mask is exaggerated to show a state of shock and confusion of the character because my favorite part of the ancient greek plays were the plot twists that left everyone shocked. It is modeled after my own expression of shock that I made in a mirror. I formed the clay slab upon my own face so it would fit.
