Second grade artist are wrapping up their African Culture study with a mask project.  After looking at a variety of African masks, they created a mini-mask using model magic.

The masks were painted with metallic acrylic paint – my second graders loved working with the copper, gold, silver and bronze paints!

After the masks were dry, they were hot-glued to black poster board, and everyone finished them off by adding a frame using animal-skins paper.  Beautiful!
