African Mask Project

After we are done with the coral painting project, once again, we have a new project. This project is called "African Mask Project". Right now in Language A class, we are reading a script called Anansi. It's a story that includes African stories with African animals. Our job is to create masks for each character in the story ready to be use for the play we are going to perform! We have to make sure that the mask represent African art meaning that we have to show african patterns and african colors. It also needs creativity in design and media. And it needs to communicate the characters through the Elements of Art which are colors, lines, shapes, textures, tones, and patterns.

Here are some examples of real African Masks:

    This is a very long blog. Actually, they don't need to be this long. remember we talked about being succinct; saying exactly what you wanted to say, nothing more, noting less.
    But you have got all the important information here. Well done. terrific effort.
    We talked in class about the Elements of Art.
