Intro to the CLAY ROOM! 11/4/13
We are pausing in our self portrait project to begin our time in the Clay Room. Every class gets two weeks in the clay room a trimester. We spent the first day going over the rules and expectations, and then doing a quick tour and seat assignment in the Clay Room. The students will be designing a Ceremonial Mask in the style of the Ancient Egyptians. Most commonly known for their funerary masks, the Ancient Egyptians had many ceremonies where masks were used. The students have to decide on a ceremony that they would like to design a mask for. It is up to the student to come up with the ceremony, real or made up. As part of this project, they will also design the rest of the costume that is to be work with the mask.
