5th Grade Pacific Northwest Masks

This was a fun and rather quick drawing project for 5th grade. Most of our assignments last many weeks. These masks were completed in 2. After drawing the half mask with a black oil pastel, and rubbing to create symmetry, students colored using traditional PNW mask colors. They cut these out, and added Raffia grass somewhere for texture and interest. The masks were glued to 2 background pieces. The final frame was made "presentation ready" by stamping around the boarder with multicultural stamps. The students did a nice job. ( inspiration tom Deep Space Sparkle)
