Art Folder 22:
Mask making is a popular art form created by various cultures for many different purposes. Some masks are meant to be worn while others are used for decorative purposes. In some cultures masksare worn for special ceremonies, celebrations and dances. A mask is also used by many cultures to hide the wearer's identity from evil or to scare away ghosts. Other cultures use masks for functional, or useful purposes like firefighters wear masks for oxygen.
Your assignment is to design a mask based on your culture or cultural background. Think about the colors, shaping, and purpose of your mask. Please explain your mask.

Directions: Using visual texture, create different patterns in each of the shapes below.
What is the difference between texture and pattern? Texture is the way something feels or appears to feel. Patterns usually create visual texture, but texture may not be seen as pattern all the time. When texture is decorative, repetitive, and evenly spaced over an area, we are more likely to call it a pattern.
