Egyptian Art Masks
 |
Sixth
graders created plaster art masks modeled on the
funerary
masks of the ancient Egyptians. This art class project is part of a
multi-disciplinary study of
Ancient Egypt.
Find out
how these masks are created by looking at the photos below, and explore
the links at the left to see how they are painted and to look at completed
masks. |
Petroleum jelly is first applied to the face to make
the plaster mask easy to remove.
Plaster gauze is dipped in water and gently applied
to the face and allowed to dry.
After the plaster dries the mask is carefully
removed leaving an image of the student's face.
