African-Inspired Masks in Third Grade Art

 


In third grade Art class, we created 3-dimensional masks inspired by African masks.  First, we looked at a powerpoint of photos of African masks and discussed their uses and how they look.  We paid special attention to the geometric shapes, since third grade is studying that in math.  Next, we drew our own masks on tagboard, cut them out, added decorations with markers, construction paper, and raffia, making sure to include at least three different geometric shapes.
