Mr. Bell's 8th grade Art Tech classes have been creating cat masks that are intended for use in video and drama work in Mrs. Wright's Fine Arts classes. These photos show students from the 8B and 8H classes who have finished their masks. The base structure of the masks are paper plates that students marked, folded, and cut to create symmetrical forms. The nose structure consists of a paper tripod with a triangular top for the nose. The elevated surface contours of the face and ears were sculpted with wadded paper towel and tape. The masks have a skin of paper mache and paint. The whiskers are wire pipe cleaners that were cut with wire cutters and secured with glue in holes made in the face. Some of the masks still have hanging hooks which will be removed prior to use in video or drama productions.
The video below shows a 3D view of an outstanding cat mask by an 8th grader and example models that Mr. Bell made to help students start the mask project.
