Introduction to Icons (3)

Mask can be an icon too. In the past, mask represents the evil spirits that been used to balance the traditional relationship of inherited positions within a culture. Mostly mask was used my some secret societies especially the African and American Indians. Other than religion, mask can be used as an education tool which Africans use it to scare and discipline their kids. People also use mask to hide their identity and allow them to mix in among the animals for easier hunting. Besides, people used mask to hide their feelings and change personalities for example become more cruel or more brave after wearing a mask.

 

Other than mask, we can use other things as icon to represents ourselves too and I'm creating my own icon.
