Multicultural Masks

This lesson was very historical/enlightening as we explored how masks were used in post and modern day situations. Using several different mediums we constructed a mask that was representational to ourselves. These masks represent our uniqueness and cultural diversity as well. Masks were made out of paper plate and we used scissors to cut out eye holes. We then painted the plate one solid color and proceeded to decorate it. Several unique designs were used to create the nose, and paint was used to added other characteristics to the masks as well.

Extension Activity
This would be great to tie into a history lesson! Students could explore there culture, and then compare their cultures with other cultures around the world. This would be a great way in continuing to explore diversity.
