Personal Identity

Rules of Facial Proportion

1) Shape of the head: The idealized head is egg-shaped or broader at the top and narrower at the bottom.

2) Eyes: The eyes are placed just above the center of the head. The space between the eyes and on each side is equal to the width of one eye.

3) Nose: The top of the nose is even with the top of the eyes, while the bottom of the nose is about halfway between the bottom of the chin and the top of the eyes. The bottom of the nose is the same width as the space between the eyes.

4) Ears: The ears are drawn between the top of the eyes and the bottom of the nose.

5) Mouth: The mouth is almost as wide as the distance between the

pupils of the eyes.

Artist Background George Segal was born in 1924 in New York City. He grew

up and lived in New Jersey, where he and his wife, Helen, owned a farm. In 1961, Segal began working with live models -- including himself -- to create the plaster-cast figurative sculptures for which he became best known. Segal's work has universal significance. With its underlying narrative of the lives of ordinary people, it is easy to interpret, and it is moving because of the human dramas it represents. Despite the realistic treatment, his work, in its subtlety and strength of expression, has earned a place in the mainstream of Conceptual Art in the 20th century.

mask - A face covering. Usually it is something worn on the face, with openings for the eyes, to conceal one's identity, either for partying (as at a masquerade ball), to frighten or amuse (as at Halloween), for ritual, or for performance (as by dancers, or by actors in Greek, Roman, and Japanese theater.) It may be worn principally to protect the face (as a gas mask, or a hockey mask, or a physician's mask, etc.) It may also be any two- or three-dimensional representation of a face — as in the covering of an Egyptian mummy's face depicting the face of the deceased. A mask can be a mold of a person's face — a death mask if made after death, a life mask if made before it.

Or, it may refer to an opaque edge or area placed between an image and a photosensitive surface to prevent its exposure to certain portions of the image. An example of this is a frisket.

And, it may be used as a verb: to cover in order to conceal, protect, or disguise.

Vocabulary cast - To form (molten metal, or liquid

plaster or plastic, for example) into a three-dimensional shape by pouring into a mold; or something formed by this means. Also, an impression formed in a mold or matrix.

contrast - A large difference between two things; for example, hot and cold, green and red, light and shadow. Closely related to emphasis, a principle of design, this term refers to a way to stress the differences between them. Thus, a painting might have bright color which contrast with dark colors, or angular shapes which contrast with curvaceous shapes. Used in this way, contrast can excite, emphasize and direct attention to points of interest.

emphasis - Any forcefulness that gives importance or dominance (weight) to some feature or features of an artwork; something singled out, stressed, or drawn attention to by means of contrast, anomaly, or counterpoint for aesthetic impact. A way of combining elements to stress the differences between those elements and to create one or more centers of interest in a work. Often, emphasized elements are used to direct and focus attention on the most important parts of a composition — its focal point. Emphasis is one of the principles of design. A design lacking emphasis may result in monotony.High relief - In relief sculpture, a form that extends at least halfway out of the background.Illustration - A design or picture in a book, magazine or other print or electronic medium that explains the text or shows what happens in a story.

Vocabulary life mask - A cast of the face of a

living person. Usually such casts have been made from a mold produced by placing gesso or plaster on the face, with a passage provided for breathing through the mold. Such a mold is likely to be of one piece, since the face is generally sufficiently flexible to enable removal of the hardened mold, as long as a release agent has been applied. A death mask is very similar.

Onomatopoeia - is a word that imitates or suggests the source of the sound that it describes. Common occurrences of onomatopoeias include animal noises, such as "oink" or "meow" or "roar".

Plaster bandages - strips of cheese-cloth packed with plaster, traditionally used in the making of casts. Pariscraft and Plastercraft are less-expensive brands of plaster bandages for such sculptural uses as making masks and molds of body-parts.proportion - A principle of design, proportion refers to the comparative, proper, or harmonious relationship of one part to another or to the whole with respect to size, quantity, or degree; a ratio.

symmetry or symmetrical balance - The parts of an image or object organized so that one side duplicates, or mirrors, the other. Also known as formal balance, its opposite is asymmetry —

asymmetrical balance. topography - A description, model, or drawing of mountains, valleys, hills, rivers, roads, bridges, and other things found on the surface of a place.

Things to keep in mind while the students work.

Students will journal their thoughts on the video and how they can use them for an art project.

Students will keep an art journal that will include thoughts of what was successful and what they had problems with throughout the mask making process.

As a final step students will review their journal entries and write a formal summary of what the project meant to them, what the gained and how they worked through the process.

When they present their art to the class they will verbally express their summary of the lesson and use their journal to pull information from.

What this lesson helps student with and how.

With this lesson students are drawing knowledge from sources other than the teacher and creating their own opportunities to demonstrate and develop their own project.

By watching the videos and taking notes the students will be using their writing skills to help for a comprehension of the new knowledge.

Students will keep a journal of formative writings of their thoughts and from the journal notes they will use a diagnostic process to create a summative writing of the final project.

Test concept Within the test frame students will be given

both implicit and explicit questions. Students will have a chance to show a

depth of writing when they give their “Baseball Answer” for the mask making process.
