Greek Theatre Masks Part 2

Things are progressing around here. Today the masks transformed from newspaper to person (or creature, as the case may be) with just a little paint. Okay, maybe lots of paint. (Another good reason to send students in play clothes. Accidents do happen in the art room!)

Next week we will be putting on the finishing touches - hair, hats and/or accessories, since the Greek theatre masks had to completely cover the head of the actor. I am going to try to persuade the students to leave them at school for the spring art show. It may be a tough sell.

We will have one more class in November, then two more in December before break starts on December 14 (yes, a week earlier than the school originally had posted). For this short time we will have a mini-unit inspired by trees and the holiday season.
