6th Grade Projects

My 6th grade classes just finished up their paper mache masks designs.  We looked at different types of masks online to inspire their creations.  The students sketched their ideas so they could have a plan.  I think they had a great time dipping the newspaper strips into the gooey slime called paper mache paste and adding lots of layers to the mask mold.  Some of the students created different shapes on their masks to make animals or weird creatures.  Their favorite part is painting them and hot gluing pipe cleaners, yarn, beads, ribbon and glitter for finishing touches.
