Hi all -

I'm finding this multural mask approach very
interesting - I had always kind of avoided it before.
I really like the webquest that was posted.

I started exploring Chinese opera masks - one of my
students gave me a set.

This is an fantastic site - it says caution have your
realplayer or ??? ready...also turn the volume down on
your computer slightly

These two sites cover the color symbolism

I did a search on Korean masks, too. I can't remember
if I posted it- I think there were more sites that
were tyring to sell rather than general info sites.
