African Masks

African Mask - step 8

African Mask Design Lesson

Step 8

Once you have completed the arrangement of your design, glue the light shapes down onto the dark background.

Take care to ensure that a neat line is formed down the middle of the mask where the two halves of the design meet. An accurate symmetry across this line is essential to the success of your image.

 

African Mask - coloured variation
