Academy of Our Lady Art III students used their imagination and skills to craft masks as part of the annual mask project. Students made a mask that expressed something of their interest or about themselves. Students began by molding clay to form the desired face shape for the mask. Next, they painted and added extra creative pieces of interest to make their project complete. Click the title of this post to view a photo of their completed project.
