African Masks - 6th Grade

After looking at Art from Africa my 6th grade students created these African Masks. These designs were created using construction paper that was cut and flipped to create mirror images.

Students were graded using the following criteria:

              - The design needed to include all facial features (eyes, nose, mouth, etc)

              - Designs needed to be stylized

              - Final image needed to be a mirror image

              - Each feature needed to have multiple shapes and layers

              - The students needed to have a high level of CRAFTSMANSHIP

                          + Pieces needed to be cut out neatly

                          + Pieces needed to be glued down neatly

                          + The whole picture space needed to be filled.
