For technology this term we studied masks from different cultures. We explored how they were made, what made them unique and their cultural patterns. After that we designed four draft sketches and finally created a full colour drawing. Eventually the long process began as we drew the designs on with pencil, which was harder then doing it on paper. Some people painted their background first and others filled them along with the designs. Then we painted many layers of fill and outline to get strong colour.
Our masks reflect our cultures, can you guess some of them?
Wow what amazing masks Team 17! I love the colours you used. The use of flax on some of the masks really makes them stand out.
ReplyDeleteYour masks are amazing Team 17! Your designs are so detailed and intricate and I love the bright colours you have used. You are all very talented. Thank you for sharing them.
