GRADE 10, PERSONAL
MASKS.
A selection of Personal Masks recently
created by Grade 10 High School
Students.
After a short introduction to masks and mask use
across the ages, and focus
exercises, students began work. I provided blank white half masks, and
all
materials. Some students brought embellishments from home.
A total of 4 periods were allocated. The last two periods were spent
becoming
acquainted with their masks through guided journaling, movement and
sound
exercises, first individually, and then in small groups.
Once again, the results speak for themselves. This type of work is
incredibly rewarding for me as I see both quality work, but more
importantly, honest work emerging. I know I was not the only who
was moved.
