African Masks by Year 3
June 03, 2013
Year 3 have been busy this term creating African masks, all with a unique design and bold patterns. Working in pairs the children used modroc and paper mache to cover balloons before adding detail to their masks. They explored traditional tribal African masks and looked at their different purposes such as to represent the spirits of ancestors, to control the good and evil forces in the community and to make a bond with nature. What do you think the meanings are behind these masks?
