Plaster Cloth Mounted Mask Art Project


Hello fun, artsy people. Hope you are having a wonderful summer. I took some time off from the art class for the summer but here is a project we did in the spring using our Styrofoam heads we put faces on a few months ago. If you don't have a styrofoam head and mask you can use a bowl and some newspaper rolled up taped and shaped for facial features. I incourage the kids to have the hair and upper body painted on the board blend in with the mask.




Wait a few hours after your plaster cloth has dryed a bit and pull head off  suran wrap to completely dry for a couple days. Paint mask and board, drill holes in side of mask and board mount mask to board with cording and hang.





The kids always really enjoy making masks...
ENJOY!
