In two classes, students will learn the processes of sculpting a mold out of clay, building papier-mâché and creating the illusion of depth with contour painting the final mask. The first class will also feature an introductory lesson in colour symbolism and masks throughout art history, including their influence on Pablo Picasso, and the works of James Ensor.

Week one:

Sculpting the mold in clay and layering on paste and paper.

Week two:

Once dried, the masks will be removed from the molds and painted.

Clay, papier-mâché materials, and paints are included.
