Please read all instructions before beginning:

• Use a 8 1/2" x 11" white piece of paper (any paper will do).
• Hold the paper horizontally.
• Fold the paper in half so you have 2 4" x 5 1/2" rectangles.
• Draw a mask in each rectangle; use the masks in the slide show as examples.
• Two African masks will be drawn.
• The African masks must touch all four sides of the paper.
• The African masks must have exaggerated facial features:  big eyes, big nose, big mouth, big teeth.
• The African masks should be covered in various shapes to create an overall design.
• Example of shapes to use: squares, circles, triangles, ovals, rectangles, and stars.
• Optional: The African masks can have the characteristics of animals, such as long ears, whiskers, sharp teeth, shaggy hair, snake skin, or strange eyes. 
• Once you are done drawing your two African masks, you may color your them.
• You may color the African masks in crayon, magic markers, or color pencils; whatever supplies you have at home will be fine.
• Use only five or six different colors on your African masks.

• Here is an Example: 

Have fun creating your African masks; I can't wait to see them!
