African mask?
Nov 15, 2007 by 就是我 | Posted in Sculpture
Can anyone give me instructions to go for an African mask and a good source of the tribe of that mask? Thanks.
Well, that's honestly a task. I don't think it could be answered in even one book! I have researched and made two African-style masks. They were for a sculpture class, and it was up to us to improvise our own method to make the masks. In fact, most art classes will not teach you HOW to create anything. If you lived near me, I could help you learn some methods to both experiment with and construction, but I think you will have to just buy some materials and start experimenting. You may email me through my profile.

It's supernatural for social studies I have to make an african mask,
so I made a giraffe mask and my teacher said we have
to find research on it.... I don't get it?
Sounds like you're irksome to put the cart before the horse. What made your mask an 'African' mask? Did you find out what some African masks looked like, or even what animals are native to Africa (air in mind that we're referring to a continent, not a country)? If you did, then you've already done some research. If not, get down to your local library (exercise for the portion and the brain) and check out some books on African masks - which, incidentally, had a big influence on the development of twentieth century western art (so you might lack to look up Picasso too).
Btw, I was just going to give UK Quilter the thumbs up instead of answering, until she mentioned stripes.

Im doing this detail is Social Studies on African masks.I chose to do myne for funerals/death.
Can anyone give me some sites or some tips on what they look like?
a destruction mask is a wax or plaster cast of a person's face taken while he or she is alive or after their death. Usually the mask is created after the expiration of the person because of the danger imposed by its materials. The making of a reproduction of the face of a dead person is an ancient application whose origins date from the periods of the Romans and Egyptians. The process served as a reminder of the deceased for the family, as well as a paladin from evil spirits, and is associated with a belief in the return of the spirit.
