Ms Agurrie's third grade class made masks using two different mediums. For our first project we made paper masks with glue lines and pastel. Before they began I showed them a variety of actual masks and pictures of masks and we looked for the patterns and elements of art that were used. We also discussed possible purposes for the masks. Next the students made simple pencil drawings that they would use as a pattern. Then they transferred the drawing to either black, brown or gray paper.
They had a choice between using black glue or white glue to trace over the pencil lines. When they were finished they set them aside to dry to be finished the following week.
By the next lesson the glue was dry and they were ready to use the pastels. After a quick demo they choose either oil or soft pastels to fill in and add color and additional patterns between the glue lines.
