The first workshop I attended last Friday was Mask Making Across the Continents. We created 2 masks - both of which were brand new to me!
The first was an Incan mask using a disposable foil baking/roasting pan, small tagboard templates for add ons & mask shape, along with Sharpie markers (gold & yellow). These are the pieces I traced & cut out of the pan...
Tools used included paper punch, various paper crimpers, Unruly Rulers, paper clips, scissors, stylus (used-up ball point pens) and plastic texture sheets. Color was added to the pieces before texturizing.
I'd never seen or used Unruly Rulers before (seen on lower left hand corner of pix below) - they were very useful in adding embossed shapes for eyebrows or any of the other small details...
Paper punches were used to make holes for earrings and any other dangling shapes you wanted. The pieces were attached with paper clips...
The eyes, nose, mouth and other non-dangly stuff was attached by with a stapler. Here are some of the other finished results:
Lesson plans will be posted on our http://www.azaea.org/lesson-plans/2011-pinetop-rocks soon. I'll blog about the other mask in a day or so...
