2009 Character Banner Project, Charles Drew ES in Silver Spring MD

Baltimore Ceramic Mask Making Residency

This is definately an exciting opportunity. I am working with an awesome art teacher and students to create "self portrait" masks. I have 4 days with the students, day 1 we worked with clay to cast faces, day two we shared a cool presentation on mask history and current uses from all over the world. We then created unique surface designs for our masks. Here are some pics from the first two of four workshops.

Successful Self Portrait Masks@2008 HOCO Summer Art Camp

This SELF PORTRAIT MASK Project provided great opportunities for 4th and 5th grade students to explore developing concepts, sculpture, design, drawing and painting. Each artist created an artwork that is representative of a part of their own self image. Every student had 15 hours to develop and realize the artwork.
