Archetypal Characters

Today the 4th graders learned about common archetypal characters and the use of masks in traditional Greek and Italian theater. After learning the basics, the students got to work designing an original archetypal character mask and then started the process of building a paper mache base for their mask. Next week, they will paint their masks and add other elements such as fur to bring their characters to life.

In search of...

15+ shoe boxes (the ones that have the lid attached like a chest are best, but either work!)
30+ paper towel rolls
10+ cereal boxes
big bags of pretzels (for 2nd and 3rd grade snacks)
big boxes of chewy granola bars (for 2nd and 3rd grade snacks)
