The Art of Masks
BY:DANE AND ZAKKIYYA
Over the past couple of weeks the fifth grade of J.H.House has been learning the technique of mask making. This unique art has been around for centuries. Back then, the masks were used for cerimonies and other rituals.
Today, they are for fun and shows. Here are the steps the fifth graders took to make our artwork.
Mask making can be challenging, but it can also be fun! Here are the steps to make the cultural masks.
Grab your materials, aluminum foil, craft sticks, newspaper print, permanent markers, pencil, and tape.
On the news print draw the craziest masks you can possibly drem up. Note* Make sure the face covers up most of your paper.
Take the foil and bear down on the foil, enough to make your face show up on the foil.
Now do designs on the opposite side of the face. BE CREATIVE!!
5. Turn over your mask,color, and add your final touches.
