‘Mask on’
By Kaia Weaver
Clarke County Public Schools K-12
"I made this square to symbolize how I am sometimes feeling & how I think many people feel sometimes but are afraid to let it be known. I feel everyone sometimes smiles to let other people think or believe that they’re “happy†but in reality... they’re not. I made this square to show that sometimes I do hide my emotions by smiling and I think it’s okay to hide your emotions.. sometimes. My artwork shows resilience because smiling and acting happy gets me through the hard times. If I smile and act happy I will eventually be happy. I chose to include nails inside the square to symbolize sometimes that I am angry or upset on the inside but on the outside I show that I am happy. "
What materials did you use to make your square?
