Art: Making Masks

The fifth graders, partnered with someone they don't know that well, made plaster masks as the base for a 3D artwork. They are working outside their comfort zones to become more comfortable with themselves and their classmates. 

Some comments from their experience include: 

"The water was cold and the towels kept falling off. "

"I was the mold and I felt like I was drowning in fresh cotton candy or maybe a pond if duck feathers."

"It was kind of unusual because I had to feel My partner's face and that's not something you would do everyday but it was relaxing because I was focused on one thing and it was really quiet and I was talking to my partner."
