African Masks

African Mask - step 3

African Mask Design Lesson

Step 3

Draw one half of a stylised nose on the light coloured paper.

This should stretch from just above the eyes to roughly halfway between the eyes and the bottom of the sheet.

 

African Mask - step 3a

Cut out the nose and flip it over.

Place it on the dark sheet and align it with the vertical edge of the light paper. This will complete its symmetrical shape and maintain the tonal counterchange of the mask design.

 

African Mask - step 3b

This illustration depicts some alternative designs for stylised noses.
