"Utopian Treasure" the story of a historic mask

                                                               Utopian Treasure

            This futuristic mask called the “Utopian Treasure” was brought back to earth from a galaxy so far away most humans could only imagine what it would be like. This once stolen treasure was brought to earth buy a man named Rouge who has been known on earth since the beginning of time. This mask uses colour and shape to depict the simplistic yet complex minds and emotions of the earth and all the people that reside on this extraordinary planet.  In his recount of the events Rouge explains the history of this one of a kind mask, and how it is used to tell a story of the earth’s relationship and significance in the universe. The different shades of green show the simple beauty of the earth and the delicate balance of nature.  They help to show the beauty of the trees throughout the seasons and how even trees change over time. It helps to show how small minded we humans can be about the endless possibilities of the universe.  While in contrast to the previous section of the mask the star painted with cosmic blues and purples shows the everlasting changes in the universe. It’s used to tell the story of how while human kinds knowledge of the universe and everything around them may not be extensive, humans have still made progress , expanding their knowledge on the world around us and acknowledging  the fact that we are tiny and inconspicuous specimens in this infinite universe. This Utopian mask, the last token left of the earth in the future, has been used for trillions of years to show the rise and fall of the earth and its residents.

1. Exaggeration and distortion affect proportion because an artist can use it to draw attention to a particular portion of their artwork causing certain sections to look larger or smaller than in real life.

2. An artist can lengthen, enlarge, bend, warp, twist and deform a figure to make it appear distorted 

3. A lot of artists use exaggeration and distortion to help to get their ideas and feelings and ideas across to the viewer better. distortion can make it easier for the artists to share their feelings in a way that makes it easier for the viewer to understand.

4. Artists can place a small head on a larger body to create a feeling of stability and calm. another way artists create monumental qualities without using large scale is through exaggerated proportions which can cause the artwork to look larger.
