The Year 7’s recently got inspired by the Olympic games host nation China, to create some very interesting artwork. Based on the Peking Opera, the masks are colourful and lightweight.
Using their hands, the sculpture compound was made damp and squeezed to the right consistency. It was then pushed into the mould in a thin layer, and popped out when dry. It was given a base coat of paint and the colour layers were built up one after the other.
