THE MASK ON THE OUTSIDE REPRESENTS THE CHARACTER BEHIND IT.In our second theatre project of Distance Learning 2020, 6th graders at HTMCV learned about theatrical masks. We began with paper prototypes- using nothing but paper and scissors we created so many faces and had so much fun. Before our Thanksgiving break, our artists were challenged with making a professional mask that represented who they are- and this time, it had to be more than just paper.
We brainstormed the kinds of materials that we might use to make a mask like this. The lists included: magazines, cardboard, clay, playdough, paint, beans, leaves, hot glue, wood, newspaper, crochet/knitting yarn, found materials, recycled materials, mud, and so much more. We invite you to browse our gallery and be inspired by our gifted mask-makers! |
