Papier-Mâché Egyptian Masks

20th Feb 2019

The girls and boys in 3rd & 4th class worked long and hard on creating these wonderful masterpieces after learning all about Ancient Egypt. It was a 5 week long process over all from start to finish, but it was worth the wait! It involved:

-cutting the base out from cardboard 

-assembling the mask and chin onto the base

-making the papier-mâché layer using newspaper and wallpaper paste

-spray painting the masks gold

-adding the final finishing touches (eyes, eyebrows and blue decorations)

Take a look at the pictures below showing how they constructed the masks step by step!

Well done 3rd & 4th on creating these wonderful projects!
