African Paper Masks
Children love this lesson. I did this last year with my first graders but I had them add feathers and other art materials. Big mistake with my kiddos. I had them tape the raffia and feathers but they had so much trouble with this part that I decided to scrap it and have this years kiddos just make the paper mask part.
We discussed masks from African and how they all have symmetry.
Students traced a paper mask pattern from Roylco on to their choice of colored construction paper (only natural colors).

The last part was to decorate them with oil pastels.
