The children looked at the patterns and imagery adorning West African tribal masks, before creating their own striking examples. Each child was given a mask shape cut out from brown paper, which they carefully decorated with intricate patterns in white paint, even using the wooden tip of the brush handle to add patterns of dots. Finishing touches were added by stapling ‘fringed’ offcuts of white fabric to represent hair and beards.

[…] devised this project three years ago, and it was the subject of my first ever blog post (click here). The project was just as successful second time around, enjoyed this year by my youngest Art Club […]
Hi Hanna! I love these African Masks, I wonder if you could tell me a bit more about the project. I am currently looking to make a project about Africa with my children. I am from Colombia and work with a school here in Shouth America. It will be great if we can share ideas. Thank you very much
