Magical Maskmaking with Pat


>Today, I spent time in Pat's workshop of the week, Magical Maskmaking. Here, students from the Red and Orange groups had the opportunity to not only make one mask, but two masks! One of these masks involved paint that needed overnight drying, so those masks will be completed later this week.
[ Painting paper plates that will be transformed into magical masks ]

[ Pat's finished examples of masks ]
Pat let us in on a little secret as to how everyone will be creating the many intricate dots on their masks (see above photo); with the help of a q-tip! 
After painting the paper plates, Both the Red and Orange groups created masks that they were able to wear out of the studio today. These were made out of multi-colored foam, and everyone had fun finding different shapes to decorate with; check out these original designs: 



By the end of the day, I felt like I was a part of a Masquerade!
