~ Mrs. Lijewski's Multi-Media Class Making Mardi Gras Masks ~
As part of the Calhoun County Arts in Education Grant, Mrs. Lijewski's class made Mardi Gras masks. The first set of pictures show beginning Mardi Gras masks construction and how the forms and plaster wrap were used to create the shape of the mask. Shapes and design were inspired by traditional Mardi Gras masks. Feathers, sequins, and rhinestones were added for additional features to enhance the masks. The second set of pictures show a closeup view of each of the students' masks. The bottom picture is of Mrs. Lijewski's Multi-Media Class donning their new masks!
