Masks.

As part of our Artefact unit, we have been told to make a mask from a theme of something from the theatre. For this I chose to do The Lion King and more specifically the lion cub "Simba." The technique we are all using is called 'Paper Mache' which is when you build up loads of different layers using newspaper and glue. This allows us to create different shapes and styles using these simple materials. 



  1. It's helpful if you start with a template
  2. Then get lots of newspaper and start adding layer upon layer
  3. For specific raised parts, use balls of newspaper.
  4. Smooth over with more newspaper
  5. Allow to dry
  6. And there you have it! Your own basic mask! 
  7. Now get painting :)
