LI - to use variety of skills to design and make a mask
Room 2 has worked incredibly hard to work on this project. We started nice and early from end of Term 2 to study the history and the background of masks, came up with our own first design in our sketch books and then added more details to it after watching designers making them on videos.
We first chose our colours we will use. We were heavily influenced by Venetian masks so our plan was to add silver and gold to one of our chosen colour which made it look extravagant.
Then we designed a personal headpiece(s) to go on the mask. We thought using cardboard will be the best idea as it light and sturdy. We painted it and added details using beads, sequins and diamanté beads.
The eyes were later decorated with the diamanté beads - we learnt how to cut the top thread so the beads will still hold together but it will bend to the shape of the eyes. It was hard work!
Lastly we added mesh and feathers and other sparkly bits to make our mask stand out even more. We made sure the right colours were chosen so it matches the masks.
We hope to see all our parents in Term 4 when we showcase these amazing masterpieces.
