The Warrior And Transformation Mask

Many works of art have hidden influence in them stemming out from all parts of the world. With these influences come themes tied to each type of work. The Warrior and Transformation Mask are just a couple examples of this. The Warrior was created in between 900-400 BC, created by the Olmec, it was one of the many giant heads found all over the Olmec area usually brought over land and along rivers. They are thought to be created to honor specific rulers and are a testament to his power. Approximately 134 have been found from 5 to 12 feet and weighing 5 to over 20 tons and all are unique. It’s influence has spread all over the world from the Statue of Liberty to the Great Sphinx all the way to the Statue of Liberty. They are all statues larger
than real life and are fairly life like.

The Transformation Mask was a mask created in Alaska for ritual dances. It usually has an animal on the outside and a human face inside when the performer pulls a string. It is intended for audiences at festivals. The transformation mask was created to represent change between organisms from sea, land and sky. It does this by having a face on the outside along with a face in the middle of the face. Both of these works have hidden influence that stem out to the rest of the world. In all sorts of festivals you see plenty of people wearing animal and human masks. This has stemmed from the idea of the transformation mask and has been replicated all across the world. There have been multiple replications of the original mask and are now used in ritual dances.
