4th grade Renaissance Masquerade Masks

Today we finished our Masquerade masks from the Renaissance period and used all kinds of items to decorate. I just laid out in different stations tissue paper streamers, jewels, sequins, foamies/stickers, ribbon, yarn, feathers, beads and more. It would be ideal to have some plaster strips and then have a mold of a face mask and make your own, but with low budgets we made paper plates work and it seemed to work to our advange in some ways too. Here are a few from different 4th grade classes! My students do some great, original work!
