Art with Mrs. O'Neill

Third grade worked hard on their African mask & mixed media unit this. They had a beautiful arts in school night display!

Third graders are busy working on Africa units to prepare for arts in school night. We have been busy with the paper mâché masks. It sure is a messy project, but we always have a lot of fun getting our hands dirty!

Art club has been working on plaster animal masks & I have displayed them on a "safari" bulletin board...

Art Club has been working on these warm and cool colored masks. We used mask forms and art tissue strips with glue and water. After they dried, students added embellishments. We had some very dramatic results...

I've been enjoying Inservice with my fellow Clarksville Elementary art teachers for the last few days, here are some great tissue paper masks we have been making. This was super easy to do, and I can't wait to try it with my students! You pre-cut tissue paper strips then apply glue into a mask form and do about 3 layers of glue and tissue. We chose to do either warm, cool, or neutral colors. After the masks were dry we popped them out of the forms, glued them to a construction paper background and added embellishments.
