Tribal Mask Project

Here is information about the Mask Project - The "WebQuest" which has a good website to find the masks.  Then I have also attached the Mask Project description which has two websites and the specifics of the project.  If these websites give you any trouble, (I have had them work and have not have them work in the same day), Google "African Mask Designs" and see what you get.

There are 3 things you will have to turn in on 2/3. 

1-Paragraph about mask (see project description page)

2-Hand drawing of the mask that you research

3-Hand drawing reproduced (copied) onto the physical, 3-D mask.

On the mask description page, I have listed a few stores where these can be purchased.  I had asked that if you had trouble finding the masks or couldn't afford or get them  that you let me know by last Friday and no one told me of any problems.  Please let me know fi you have any questions.  JBR
