MASKS

You will all be crating 3D masks out of clay. Although this is a Halloween inspired project you do not have to create something scary. All that I ask is that you create something stereotypical, that we all recognize.  So for example if you want to create Dracula what comes to mind are the following:
Fangs, white skin, widows peak, boney, dark circles around the eyes, maybe some blood, pointed nose and ears etc. 
Here are some examples of clay masks 
 
Requirements for this project are as follows:
1. Have one very detailed sketch or your stereotype
2. Use plastic mold with a bag over it as your base for building
3. "build up " your features 
4. carve away recessed areas
5. be very selective when glazing, make your colors accurate
6. use lots and lots of color!!!!
