Fourth grade artists at FAVE are creating clay masks this month. Our inspiration comes from the Vejigante masks of Puerto Rico. Students studied a variety of masks from all over the world to get ideas about symmetry, shape, pattern and design.

After the kiln students chose to prime their masks black or white... 

Sam primed his mask black...  

Lots of colors are being added!!! 

Just the first layer of color... 

Students worked from sketches before adding painted details to their masks...
