MASKS

You MUST Wear a MASK!

Last week, we were given orders by the Riverside County Health Department to wear masks when we are outside. This is a totally different kind of mask, just for fun and art. :)

PROJECT DIRECTIONS:

  • First, click the links to read both these articles.
  • Next, use whatever materials you have (cardboard box, paper bag, the inside of a cereal box, etc.) to make a mask. It can be super simple or complex, your choice. Make your mask/ photograph relevant to TODAY, just as Steinbergs were relevant to the 1950's and 60's.
  • Then, photograph yourself wearing the mask while doing something totally ordinary. Feel free to get the whole family involved, add props, dress up, etc. to make it relevant to today.
  • Publish in GREY SCALE or BLACK AND WHITE to Artsonia.com/class. You can either edit the photograph to be black and white before uploading, or you can do it directly in the app/site.
  • Next, write an artist statement in Artsoina about how your Inge Morath and Saul Steinberg's artwork was relevant to the 1950's and how your mask is relevant to today. Due Friday @2pm
  • Go to our Artsonia Gallery and view your classmates work after the due date.

My daughter Iris wanted to join in the fun. I can't wait to see your photos :)
