0.0 stars

In this project, students explore the use of masks in various world cultures, learning about the origins, purpose, and use of masks in rituals, performances, fashion, occupations, etc. They consider how masks function as objects to enhance beauty and appearance, provide protection or concealment, display power, or indicate change and transformation.

Students use what they learn about masks to inform a reflection on the ways that they “wear masks” in their own lives, and the different “faces” they put on for themselves and others. They create a mask that artistically represents one of these faces and present it as part of a collaborative exhibition.
