In studio art we are working on our 3d unit and this week we're going to be creating small masks inspired by Mexico's Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) holiday using celluclay. Above are a few examples but each student will create their own design and color pattern and draw it out before you begin. The video below shows you how celluclay works and we're going to mix it in groups then create our masks on wax paper so it can dry without sticking.
Once the mask drys you'll sand it then use acrylic and tempera paint to add you design. The drawings will be due today and then you can begin molding you mask. Next week, after the final, we'll be painting our masks when they are completely dry.
