Culture Masks

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. 

See our last blog post about how we weaved flax which many have added to their mask. We did a self-reflection using a rubric and have blogged our mask photos on our own kidblogs.

Our masks reflect our cultures, can you guess some of them?
