African Masks



In honor of Black History Month we are making African Tribal Masks out of paper mache.  The students were a bit wary of the tub of flour and water at first but are slowing getting into it.  When the paper mache dries we'll paint our masks and statuettes and adorn them with feathers, sea shells and deer antlers.   I promised my aide, Fawn, that we will go back to painting and drawing after the mask project.  With tie dyeing last week, and the masks the week after, we are exhausted from setting up and cleaning up.  I am sure the custodians have a picture of my face on the dart board in their office.
