Eric MAkes Masks

Masks in the Classroom!

Last week I had the pleasure of visiting the Gr. 6
art class at Bond Lake Public School to talk about
my masks and had  great time!  I brought in a variety of my
masks, including the very first masks I ever made.  
The kids were very responsive and had lots of questions.  

I visited them to talk about my experience mask making as part of their mask making unit in class.  They were hard at work making paper masks and I lent some of my knowledge and experience making my own masks.  When I asked them what they were making their masks out of, they were shocked to hear I made them out of the same things - paper and glue!

I also taught them a bit about the history and significance of masks across cultures.  They were able to give me lots of good examples of modern masks and their importance today. 


All in all I had a great time chatting with the class and they had so many questions about mask making I was happy to answer.  I loved showing them that mask making is still a vibrant art form that is a very important part of shared culture the world over.  


Plus, they had the chance to try on some of my masks and bring them to life.    

If you're interested in a class visit I'd love to talk with you about bringing my masks to your school.  Send me an e-mail to ericmakesmasks@gmail.com with the subject Class Visit.
