Reference materials for Harrison students

1. 8th Grade Mask Design
You will be graded on;
• how well the mask reflects its function
• the facial expression
• the outside shape- design and bisymmetry
• the inside shapes-design and bisymmetry
• the patterns AND / OR texture
• the color design
• the use of additive clay pieces
• your use of correct clay techniques
• your use of correct paint techniques
• your creativity in both the mask and other materials added to complete the
design
Mask Steps

What kind of inside shapes would relate to the function?
In order to relate to the function, should the shapes be angular, geometric, rounded, organic,
…?
Pattern
What kind of pattern designs would relate to the function of the mask?
Texture
