Art!
My mask represents making art. I did art because at home I always do art when I am bored. I like to draw fashion so I did big ears and earrings on them and when I started I was doing art and birthday so I added a present in the hair of my mask. And on my mask there is a crown and for me it says that ‘art rules!’

In this project, student artists look at different examples of masks. They choose and trace mask elements from photos, then combine these elements to create a mask of their own that represents a ritual (public or private) in which they regularly take part. They then convert their drawing to 3D model using plaster strips, and finish with paint and decorations.
