Ceramics Masks
How they get their ideas across:
Mark Andrew Schneider mainly works with rubber, cold cast metal resins, vacuformed plastic and occasionally leather and fiberglass in order to create his masks and props, which he makes by hand. His area is Ceramics, which he uses in order to create masks among others, and he is also a concept artist. As seen from the coloured images in the portfolio (that can mostly be scrolled through sideways, similarly to the Rhiannon Ewing-James’ portfolio) the masks that the artist makes are mainly covered in earthy colours, with occasional usage of bolder colours such as sapphire, red, and gold (metallic undertones are used too). This is very effective, and examples of this include a mask imitating a grotesque rat, coloured

    The British fashion designer and couturier Alexander McQueen has also been influential to me. McQueen was known for his theatrical, dark and extravagant work. For several seasons, he created series of pattern on pattern suits. Pattern on pattern work is seen in Watchmen and Schnick Schnack Jungle. Schnick Schnack Jungle is made up of found objects which I connected together to create original miniature sculptures. I then painted a repetitive pattern composed of many different sizes. This has the same push-pull effect as the zooming in and out of images and also creates a light visual dizziness for the viewer.Artist Kehinde Wiley has a classically painted spin on contemporary subjects. Similarly to Wiley, I am partially influenced by the realistically…

    They say the greatest warrior's in history all come from the long gone and distant land of Ioni. Where it exist none know today, but what is know that there is a long lineage of warriors who can trace ancestors back to this land. Multiple ways of the warrior all can be traced back to Ioni. At some point though the continent it was located on collapsed into the planet it resided on. All remnants of it shattered to oblivion. All there was left were a few artifacts traders had before the collapse happened and stories the elders spoke of. After thousands of years all was forgotten. Ioni and all that was known of it was gone, none knew of it and everybody went through their trainings not knowing who had created their art form of war. One day on a sunny day the whole world was at peace. No wars had been fought for 200 hundred years and civilization was thriving. As the birds chirped and children played in the meadows, the planet shook all across. The oceans seem to sink deeper and the water levels lowered. New land rose and came with it many old broken structures. Ioni had rose back up to the world. Out of all the chaos wars broke out for the race to see what was in these structures. Millions died trying to figure out what was in these structures. One day a group of explorers found something that was terrifying to all of them, a war mask stained in blood. The mask bathed in black had carving all over it and some with blood as a paint over. The mask itself lied on a pedestal patiently waiting. All around this mask were more carvings and the first of their kind, actually writing by the people that once existed. The writings themselves suggest that there lived about 10,000 people, all with the heart of a warrior. They ate much of the same traditional food they still ate at the current time: rice, fish, cattle, and many…

    The character I chose to render a costume design for is Troy Maxson from the play Fences by August Wilson. Troy is the family’s main source of income and his character is a very strong willed and stubborn 53-year-old man. Troy relentlessly told his son, Cory, multiple times that his football recruitment was a waste of time and that he should get “…recruited in how to fix cars or something where he can make a living” (8; ch.1, sec.1). Therefore, from Troy’s actions, I knew that his costume should entail a sense of seriousness such as nothing brightly colored or crazy patterned clothing. Another area in the script that influences my costume choices was the setting of the play. The play was set on a dirty entrance of an old brick building house…

    The inside of the mask shows a man sitting with his legs bent in front of him while his arms are open and stretched to his sides. His facial features consist of sharp cheekbones, a wide triangular nose, a goat-t, a thin mustache, and thick dark eyebrows. The subject's facial hair is made up of black pigment. His eyes are peering up and his thick red lips are in a whistling position with a little tube in its mouth with three strings attached to it- one on both sides and one on the bottom. The strings on his left and right attach from his mouth to his arms. The bottom string attaches to the middle of his legs, just below the knees. It looks as though there is a harness or support cushion of some sort around the figure's neck but this is not clear. Perhaps it functions as a filler so there is not a lot of empty space (www.freespiritgallery.ca).…

    Lion King the Musical

    Masks are considered "functional works of art" and play a social purpose in Africa. They are used in storytelling and ceremonies and are made to be worn over the head rather than cover the face. This technique is also used in The Lion King so that the human facial expression is not lost and to support the beadwork, corsets and armor used to show the human qualities of a lion. The costumes on the other hand are made of silk cloth to hide the human form, break the shoulder line and to enhance the powerful joints and thighs. The masks are made in such a way that the actor can control the facial expression of the mask through cables attached to their sleeves. Costumes and masks are also used to show the development of the character as they progress through out the story. Young Simba's costume is not as intricate as Scar's to show that, Scar has an underlying plan whereas Simba is innocent.…

    Despite the fact that the Tax Reform Act of 1986 was the most sweeping tax reform effort in recent US history, critics are concerned that the act could have worsened the distortion of corporate financing decisions by failing to address the unequal treatment of debt and equity finance. Two conflicting theories, the traditional theory of corporate finance and the Modigliani-Miller Theorem, make different predictions about the impact of this unequal treatment on debt utilization. The traditional theory states that the cost differential between debt and equity finance will be significant, whereas, the Modigliani-Miller Theorem states that the cost differential will be so small that it will not have an appreciable effect on capital structure decisions. This study supports the Modigliani-Miller contention, as the TRA 86 did not appear to have a significant effect on debt utilization in the aggregate. Moreover, it indicates that capital structure decisions are firm specific. Public policy and market forces influence each firm in a different way.…
