Grade 8 art students studied the enduring art of traditional Venetian mask making and its uses in the past and present. This challenging long-term project takes us from a sketched idea all the way through to making the mask a reality! Students created their masks based on original sketches inspired by traditional designs and themes of the mezzo-volto Columbina style used for centuries to celebrate Carnivale in Venice, Italy. Students built the 3-D mask form from plaster-craft by hand, then painted the design work with acrylics. The final touches were textural elements and embellishments added to the surface to complete the final work.
