African Mask

We learned about African masks and then created our own using milk jugs or in my case a 2 liter bottle.  We cut out the plastic and covered it in masking tape, then colored it with shoe polish.  I put brown down for my base then put black over top.  The top was hole punched for the hair to tie into.  Then painted with acrylic paint.  I was influenced by the long and skinny faces of some of the masks so tried to imitate that in my mask.
