recycled mask art

Just a fun quick assignment using recyclables...
Each student chose 3 randomly cut pieces of mat board scraps donated by the local framing shop.  They used crayons and colored pencils to add color and texture.

Students decided on an arrangement of their mat board pieces to create the base for their mask. They then chose bottle lids and/or marker lids to add eyes, nose, etc.  Students could also use scrap mat board to add details.

Final touches were to add colored popsicle sticks,
pipe cleaners, and outlining to finish.

I love the different end results from using the same types of materials. It was also a good way to use up all of those extras laying around the art room!
