Two of my art kids saw the previous lion mask tutorial and wanted to make shark and crocodile masks. I accepted the challenge, not being sure if they would have the patience to finish it, because making paper mache sculptures requires a lot of patience, and these two artists are quite young...
Here's how it turned out! Click the image below for video:
Not too bad huh?! I was impressed by their focus and how they stayed determined to finish the project!
What we used for this project:
Base:
- Paper plate
- Cardboard
- Aluminium foil
- Masking tape
Paper mache:
- Wallpaper paste
- Paper strips (out of newspaper or paperbags etc... thinner paper is better as it sucks up the paste better).
Decoration:
- Acrylic paint
Check the previous "How to make a lion mask" for more details on the paper mache part.
Let's get creative! :)
Happy colourful wishes,
