Mrs. Larshus's high school Art 1 students recently made masks on each other's faces. They covered their faces with a piece of plastic wrap with a nose hole in it. Then the students used strips of plaster gauze dipped in water to mold their masks. The students who were getting masked got to spend most of the class period relaxing on a table. Here is an example of a mask that is in the process of being embellished. All students will add a variety of features, embellishments, and paint onto their original mask and turn them into amazing creations!
