I decided to paint the base of my mask pink as it is my favorite color. Then I added the tree to show my background and how I am American, but my roots are Italian. Next, I added a cross that represents my faith, along with the verse &#8220;I can do all things through him who strengthens me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I also added my interests, such as computers, dance, and math. The computer represents my major and how I like to code. I included math and numbers because, ever since I was little, they&#8217;ve always come to me and just made sense. I then added music notes because I really enjoy listening to music. Then I said a dancer because dance has always been a part of my life.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, to finish off my mask, I added words that are important to me and other things I enjoy. Some words I said that are important to me are my family, friends, strength, and belief.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom:20px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/steam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2025\/12\/identity-mask1.pdf\">View Project<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom:20px\">\n<strong>How did completing your project help you explore the role of arts in the lives of New Yorkers and their communities?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By completing my project, I was able to explore the different roles art plays in my life and in the lives of New Yorkers and their communities. When deciding what to include on my mask, I chose elements that represent who I am, and I realized many of them are forms of art, such as the music I listen to and the shows I watch. This project helped me realize that art also plays a similar role in the community by giving people a way to share their stories, celebrate cultures, express themselves, and strengthen their community identity.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Group Members: Felicia Cruciata While working on this mask, I was able to reflect on the things that I really like and are important to me.
