Oh Sarah, you never cease to amaze me! That's Sarah's mask on the left. (This is the same Sarah that built the female boxer sculpture - one of 4 Sarah's in grade 6.) On the right is Melissa's mask, with really cool texture. Here's a close up:
The materials are 36 gauge aluminum tooling foil, some felt for padding when tooling the foil, basic tools including pop sticks, India ink, and acrylics and/or permanent markers. And then beads, yarn, & wire for embellishment. For more details about my expectation, check this post: http://plbrown.blogspot.com/2011/05/african-inspired-tooling-foil-relief.html
I do have lots of images from African masks from various parts of the continent, and the kids used them for design motivation as desired.
