Making Venetian Masks...
Below are some pics of venetian inspired masks from a workshop I recently went too. I spent most of my time texturing a full masks (the white one below), and will finish this with my class, as we make venetian masks together.
Masks...
These masks were made by children after I went to the workshop with Donna Demente. I finally found
some photos hidden away in my filing cabinet!
Mask Making with Donna Demente
It's funny what a teacher can end up finding in their cupboards. A few years back I was lucky enough to attend a workshop with artist Donna Demente. This year I was looking threw my mask box and came across these photos I'd taken at her workshop. I used the technique she taught us and that year my class made beautiful masks. This year my class will be making venetian masks.

| Clay form used to create the masks shape, then papier colle over top, clay being pulled out leaving the mask...adding texture to the mask. |

| After covering with a few layers of tissue paper the masks are painted with white acrylic paint, then the mask can be painted. |
Koru Cushions
I saw a great idea at the children's art exhibition! First the children drew their designs in their design book. They then picked one of their koru patterns and used a highlighter to draw onto their hessian. Children used wool to sew around the outlines. Parents then sewed each child's design into cushions.
