Unmasking Identity: A Reflection on Personal Culture and Values

This project invites you to explore the concept of identity through the creation of a mask that symbolizes your beliefs, values, and personal culture. What does your mask say about you? You will construct a mask representing at least ten elements of your identity, with an emphasis on three during your presentation. Over one week, prepare a 5-10 minute oral presentation where you will discuss the origins and importance of your chosen aspects of identity. Express yourself creatively—let your mask be a reflection of who you truly are.
