Tribal+Masks

= Tribal Masks =

Here are some pictures of the masks that we made in class today, March 11. First, we partnered up and put vaseline on our faces. We had to use a lot of vaseline to make sure that the cast material didn't stick to our skin. After the vaseline was on, we lied down and our partner put the casting material on our faces. It felt pretty gross, but it was fun. We had to be quiet too because if we talked while we were making our masks, they would crack and they wouldn't look as nice. Once our face was covered (excluding our eyes, nose and mouth, of course) we let them dry for about fifteen minutes. Then they came off and we have left them to dry in the break out room so that we can paint them next week!



We finished our masks and they look fantastic! (And we got hardly anything on our clothes!) Before we got to start painting our masks we had to decide, as a tribe, what characteristics our masks would have so that we could tell who was from what tribe. For example, one tribe has black around their eyes. We had a lot of fun and we were all excited with our end results! Check out the pictures!
