3rd Grade: Masks

In 3rd grade we discussed the different purposes of masks (entertainment, protection, to frighten others, for religious purposes, etc.) and a few world examples were shown alone with a you tube video. 

The first step in creating the masks was to use cardboard and tape to create 3D extensions such as noses, eyes, ears, and mouths.  After two layers of paper mache were applied, the kids painted with tempera paint. The final day we decorated the masks using various sting and sequins.
