3rd Grade Art Class
Monster Masks
The second half of the year 3rd grade students learned about masks from various regions of Mexico. We discussed the art elements and principles of masks as well as what they are used for. Students then used their imagination to create their own collaged 3 dimensional monster mask. Once completed, students wrote artist statements describing their masks and participated in a class critique.
Shadow Puppets
Students learned about the basics of puppetry and identified the elements of shadow puppets. Students then designed a puppet and worked within groups to write and present a shadow puppet play.
