By the time all the newspaper was removed, there remained a LOT of newspaper to either discard or save to re-use for future papier-mache projects. After all the newspaper was all removed, the backs of the bags were cut off to make the front of the bags, which had been covered with papier-mache, into masks. And of course the kids had to immediately try them on!
These masks are large! We painted them with a nice bright white coat of gesso, to provide a beautiful surface for painting. The added bonus is that the gesso provides an extra layer of strength.
I'll be back to show you the masks when they are painted. In the meantime, my DragonWing Arts students are also working on some other really fun faces based on the theme of "Masks and Crazy Faces". I'll be sharing those with you too!!
