Paper Masks





We started a discussion of masks by looking at a book about masks and different cultures that make masks. We talked about different reasons why people made masks and what they were used for. We started by brainstorming ideas for our own masks and started creating them out of colorful construction paper. We used different techniques to cut, curl, spiral, fold and attach different shapes to our masks. We completed our masks by adding yarn, feathers and details with markers.

Pattern Names

The pattern name project was the initial piece for a larger unit of study. Student's were challenged with writing their names in block or bubble capital letters. All letters had to overlap the previous one. After sketching out their names, they had to fill each letter with a different pattern. The spaces where the letters overlapped also had to be different patterns. Students were challenged to create interesting and varied patterns. After creating their patterns, students erased the lettered outlines and colored their patterns with sharpie. Once they were finished, the patterns created the forms of their letters in unique and bold ways.
