These masks were created by 7th and 8th grade students. Students worked together to create a 'life mask' on each other's faces using plaster craft cloth. Students then painted their masks with acrylic paint and added various collage materials. Their assignment was to choose an inner quality for their mask to reveal about themselves at the same time as allowing their mask to conceal something about themselves. This project took about two weeks to complete.
