Explore sculptural materials and techniques with which to shape works of art that, through skilled manipulation, come alive in performance. The class begins with the introduction of a series of materials used in mask making.
This class will begin to introduce students to some of the many cultural mask traditions that exist in the world; ranging from theater and performance to ceremonial and festive traditions. Part of this will be done in Research presentations that students will share with the class. Research projects can also become the basis for fabrication projects.
