Creating a mask shape
I can create a mask shape and add features using 3D construction techniques.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- Understand the concept of symmetry and its application in mask design.
- Learn how to use basic shaping techniques to construct a 3D mask base.
- Explore creative problem-solving when adding features to a mask.
- Develop an appreciation for the cultural significance of masks.
Keywords
Mask base - the foundational structure of a mask before adding details or decoration
Symmetry - a balanced and proportionate similarity between two halves of an object or design
Asymmetry - a lack of balance or symmetry between two halves of an object or design
Construction - the act of assembling materials to form a structure or object
Three-dimensional (3D) - something that has height, width, and depth. Unlike a flat drawing or picture
Common misconception
A mask shape must be perfectly symmetrical to look good.
While symmetry is often used, asymmetry can also be used to create dynamic and interesting designs.
Equipment
A4/A3 card sheets. Scissors. Glue sticks, PVA glue, and masking tape. Pencils, erasers, and rulers.
