In celebration of Halloween week,
we explored a brief history of masks.
We looked at images from a variety
of cultures from around the globe,
and discussed the way in which
masks played a part in the rituals
and festivals of each.The class then
designed their own creations which
turned out to be fun and very diverse.
Our other project for Halloween week, was making our own scratch boards . The children loved this process and most voted it 10 out of 10.
It has been an eventful week in our Art Literacy class. We have been all around the world. I would like to thank all of my wonderful students for their great efforts. We began with the story of the discovery of the discovery of cave paintings in Lascaux, France and also looked at images from Spain , where the oldest known cave paintings have been found, in the cave called El Castillo. The prehistoric dots and crimson hand stencils are now the world's oldest known cave art that dates more than 40,800 years old.
