PRELIMINARY WORKSHOP: SUPERHERO MASKS


Step 1: Design a Character
Preparing ears, eyes and noses that will be swapped and combined to make eclectic character faces. 
Step 2: Build a Mask
Making simple paper sculpture patterns that our young artists can use to make ears and eyes for their character masks. 
Covering cardboard mask bases with muslin and lining them with felt. 
22 mask bases drying into shape to fit on our artist's faces. 
Following our artists' character designs, we prepared the mask bases to be decorated. Paper sculpture noses attached, eye holes punched, elastic straps ready. Here, Sarah models the mask base for the future superhero Eye Monster.

Mask-making supplies! 
A wall full of brave and beautiful Clark Street Superheroes. 


Step 4: Performing a Skit in a Mask
A set piece to represent our Neighborhood. It comes apart in 3 pieces so it can be "Lost" by the Monster and "Rebuilt" by the Superheroes.

                                            
                                                      The Monster, a common villain in our artists' stories.
