Well I think it is about time I call it a day! I have had fun exploring mask
sites. DO check the first one I have posted. It is a great one for
kids....and has many cultures represented. Most of the links I have here are
for Mexican masks -- with a few more thrown in so I wouldn't forget them.
Save this post - as all of these links will not go on my site. There are
more Mexican Folk art mask sites online - I couldn't list them all. Sorry,
you will have to copy and past long URL's I didn't take the time to make
shorter links.
Another Face- Masks Around the World
http://gallery.sjsu.edu/masks/menu.html Great site! Has information about
masks - images of masks (although it doesn't tell much about each mask) -
activities, games and links to more mask information on the Internet. I
found
that many of the links were broken - but there is still lots to see. A well
worth while site to take your students exploring mask around the world.
Masks from Africa, Americas, European, Pacific Masks, and modern masks (some
contemporary Native American included). I spent a lot of time on this site
tonight.
Zarco Guerrero -mask maker - sculptor (Mexican American)
http://members.aol.com/zarkmask/ See some of his work.
I found lots of links to reference of his theater masks and performance.
Here is a neat sculptural "book" idea - could easily do this with kids
(maybe do personal heroes):

Wow - lots more ideas - I just checked through the assemblages.
Mexican Masks - images not of high quality - site has dance accessories and
costumes, too
