Paper, Paint, and Performance

Project Description
 

Part 1: Performance Masks and Emotions
Masks have been part of cultural and religious practices for thousands of years. They have been used as parts of celebrations, rights of passage, concealing identity (masquerade), intimidation in battle, and performance art, to name a few. Emotions are an important way of sharing with others how we feel. In this pre-recorded activity lead by Visual Arts Teaching Artist Daphne Cuadrado Andino, students will engage in a social emotional activity and art making experience to create a mask that will share emotions with others. 

Part 2: Artist Talk
As part of this resource, participants will receive an invitation to join Daphne for a follow-up artist talk on October 20th at 4 pm that will include opportunities to share student work and ask any questions to the artist.
