Hidden "Pickles"

For my final project I have decided to go with the hidden theme. The scope if this project was so broad and I believe that was my main problem. How to do "something" creative....anything creative. I read on multiple websites about creativity trying to gather ideas or methods to form creative thoughts. One site said creativity is really only creativity if someone sees it as such. Others may not think something is creative but if one person does, then it is. With this class I feel like the only real way to know if your project was a success is by the class reaction since if you produce any type of project at all you will receive your points. I was not happy with my last project becuase I knew it wasnt very creative, so I hope this one is better. I think it will be. With no real requirement or guidline except for the "hidden" suggestion, I decided to present myself to the class for my project...only in a "hidden" form.  This was a super messy project. I never new paper mache could be so fun though.

**Edit - The paper mache did not come out the way I needed it to so I redid my face with Plaster of Paris strips. I didn't really want to apply the strips directly to my face so i covered my face in foil and then applied the plaster. It's not quite as defined as I wanted but I still think it's cool.
