I have added Stephanie Corder's Venetian Mask lesson
to Incredible Art Department.
http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/lessons/high/Stephanie-masks.htm
I included some interdisciplinary ideas for this unit.
You can tie it in with a unit on Shakespeare - or
Renaissance...and of course Italy. I added additional
resources for Caribbean Carnival. All of mask
resources I added were from my June 2003 post. If you
have additional sources = please let me know.
I have linked this lesson from Middle School and High
School and will add a ceramic variation to it soon....
One of my co-workers did some fabulous carnival masks
with 5th graders (using the plastic face molds).
