WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

You will demonstrate technical skills using a variety of art media and materials to

produce a sculpture of a clay mask. You will design a personal mask that has formal balance. Select geometric shapes and textures that add interest and express the idea of your mask. Then create a three-dimensional mask in clay.

● Pencil and 9 x 12-inch sketching paper

● Clay mat or newspaper

● Rolling pins

● Scissors

● Clay, low-fire or other clay body

● Assortment of common texture tools: paper clips, pencils, skewers, toothbrushes, combs, etc.

● Tempera or acrylic paints and brushes

1.Fold the paper. Cut several symmetrical shapes for a mask. Choose one.

2.Use your imagination to design a mask with formal balance. Choose geometric

shapes for facial features and other details. Add pattern or texture to add interest.

3.On a clay mat or newspaper, roll out the clay so that it is about 1/4 of an inch thick and large enough for the drawing. Lay the paper sketch on top of the clay.

Lightly trace features and details. Use a fettling knife or open paper clip to cut out

the mask shape and small openings, if desired. Be careful, too many openings will weaken the clay mask.

4.Build out some features with clay coils and cut-out shapes. Score, slip, and smooth edges to attach.

5.Apply rows of pattern and texture using found objects such as pens, paper clips,

cardboard strips, toothbrushes, combs, and so on.

6.When finished, crumple up paper towels or newspaper. Shape the clay over the

pillow to softly round the mask shape. Air dry. Bisque fire. Follow directions for

clay body.

7.Apply tempera or acrylic paints. Choose a color scheme that emphasizes the mood or idea of the mask and maintains formal balance. Seal water-based paints with medium or spray varnish.
