Year 7 students have explored African culture, patterns and masks. Students designed and created their own African-inspired mask using a variety of techniques and materials.
These masks look fantastic I love that they are full of colour and wonderfully detailed patterns. In particular I would like to mention the ‘lion mask’ it has used a mixture of materials, colours and patterns to really capture a strong sense of African culture and identity. Well done Year 7.
I think the red cheetah mask looks superb because the spots and the teeth on the mask are very detailed and its done carefully with no rush and the mask has full colour and definitely looks like an african mask.
i particuly like tha mask that is at the bottom righthand corner-i think its amir's, i like this mask because it has a range of effective patterns particualy around the eyes and head i.e:the spikes on the top. amir has put in more earth colors and this gives us a taste of african culture. WELL DONE AMIR
Yes, that is Amir's mask. You have done well to reference the colour scheme, an excellent comment Leoni. Remember to check spelling and punctuation. See Ms Durkin for ☆credit☆ next lesson.
I really like all of the masks because of how original and fantastic they are cause of there use of colours and there shape!! I especially like the blue one with the red lips cause its quite simple and the lips are unique and the more basic it looks the more detailed it is.
Great comment Farah, you have done well to speak generally of the collection of masks as well as choosing your favourite. See Ms Durkin for ☆credit☆ next lesson.
I think that all of the masks are magnificent in their own way because every single person has put a lot of time and effort into all the aspects of their masks. However the one that really stands out for me is the blue mask with the leaf type hair and the red mask around it's eyes, I think that this mask is exceptionally well done because not only has the artist put thought into the painting and making the mask but has put a lot of thought into the design of the mask. The design is very good because the leaf hair is an original and unique idea that no one has thought of and still has an African theme to it. The whole mask is very detailed and the artist has used a range of colours to make it. So I believe that the artist and everyone else that has created an African mask should feel proud of themselves.
Brilliant commentary Amir, thank you. You have explained yourself effectively with encouraging words and praise. See Ms Durkin for ☆credits☆ next lesson.
I think that all of the masks are as good as each other, all showing a different story and a different taste of african culture in their own way. I wouldn't be able to choose a favourite but I think they are all great
I really like the way you have described the masks as each having a story - an excellent way to explain them Adam! See Ms Durkin for ☆credit☆ next lesson.
I love all of th masks because they all use their imagination. I love one particular mask the lion one. The author to it has a good use of imagination. It also blends it in with the thelion hair
A great choice Ladan, Shanaz was the artist that created the lion mask. Try to expand on your comments to explain your opinions in detail. See Ms Durkin for ☆credit☆ next lesson.
I like all of the masks as they use a range of colours, but the one that stood out for me was the one that is at the top of the page in beige and brown as it uses a range of African patterns and shows they have put time and effort into their work and studied African masks very closely.
I think this project was fun and everybody learnt something. All the designs were fantastic and very different. My two favourites were the one based on a scream mask and the one with the peacock feathers attached to it. I think that the scream one is good because of the contrasting colours used and the very large mouth. The peacock one was good because they used real feathers and i liked the glossy finish on the black.
I found that all the masks were fantastic with all the different textures, colours and different materials that were used, you can see all the hard work everyone put into their masks.
i think that the tiger skin drawing was brilliant! it had the right texture and at the middle where the real p9cture of the skin was i thought that was part of the image it was also good because it also had the excact coulors for it and looks awesome...overall, all masks created are brilliant in their own unique way and should be proud...
Excellent comment, thank you Gregory. The study of the animal fur is by Ted and he did very well. Take care to check your spelling and punctuation. See Ms Durkin for ☆credit☆ next lesson.
i like all of the masks because all the colours have all been blended in and all the patterns have been used. i like all the colours that have been used on the masks and all the details that have been put on the masks.
Good observation of pattern and colours Presley. Try to be specific and discuss one mask in particular that you like. See Ms Durkin for ☆credit☆ next lesson.
Good choice Cedrick. I think you are discussing Priyanka's mask. Try to expand on your comments by explaining in detail. See Ms Durkin for ☆credit☆ next lesson.
I liked the mask that had no eyes, because they used colours that blended well together, instead of using random colours. I also liked the lion mask because they used different materials on their mask, instead of just using paint.
Great comments, thank you Maeve. Try to develop your commentary by explaining what the results of these choices have on the overall success of the mask. See Ms Durkin for ☆credit☆ next lesson.
I like Jordan's mask the most because I like the combination of colour scheme and pattern. I like that it looks modern in style and shows the African influence.
The one I like the most is the lion mask. I like it because the fur makes it look realistic like a real mane on a lion. The buttons and stickers make it look eye-catching.
My favourtite mask is the one with the real peacock feathers and the shiny black face. I like way they have brought in their own materials to enhance the mask.
my favorite mask is gabriellas because it has bright colours and she has brought things from home to make the mask more porffeesionall and unique i like the peacock feathers on the top of the mask they make t colourful and pritty
Good start Daniella. Try to expand your comment by explaining what appeals to you about that mask specifically. See Ms Durkin for ☆credit☆ next lesson.
i thought this project was fun and it gave everyone a benifit of being creative and having the change to show their ideas. One of the masks i really liked was the one that looked like the Lion King, because it had different colours added to it, and it was a original shape and has its own shapes and patterns. I liked the way they really bought their creativity and imagination towards this make.
I really think all of these masks are great. I especially like the fact that people have extended their masks and added different things such as longer mouths. I also like the fact that people have made things coming out their masks to make it look for example a deep mouth. I also like the fact that people have used different African patterns to really express their masks. They have also used a range of colors to make their masks flamboyant. I think everyone should be proud of their masks.
Excellent comment Dorian. You have explained your thoughts well by describing what you like about the masks in detail. See Ms Durkin for ☆credit☆ next lesson.
All of the mask are amazing. They are all very colourful and have lots of spntanious patterns. I don't really like any one in particular because i think thet are all wonderful in their own way.
i think all of them are good and unique in their own way, i really like the red one with lots of hair attached to the sides. it looks like a real lion! all of the masks are great. I really like the way everyone's extended their mask and made it stand out, they all look really amazing!
I think that all the masks are great and that every one has put alot of effort in to them and they all look great and colourful AND well done everyone they is alot of good pattens and designs !
I think that all of the masks are imaginative, colourful and very accurately and neatly painted. My favourite mask is the red lion mask as it has the great addition of extra materials. I also like it because it has a great lion pattern on it and has been painted with extra detail and care and has a great use of colours.
All of the masks are amazing and everyone who made them should be very proud of themselves for creating such brilliant pieces of artwork.
Excellent encouraging comment Michael, thank you. You have done well to discuss the project in general as well as specific masks. See Ms Durkin for ☆credits☆ next lesson.
I really like the black maski with the peacock feathers and beads,It's very imaginative and original. I also like how the patterns weren't painted n but stuck on with beads. It is very nicely painted and the colours were chosen well as the black background makes the colourfull beads stand out!
i really liked most of the masks especially liked the lion mask because of the mane and i also liked the mask which has the feathers on top of it and i really enjoyed this African mask project because it was really fun
I really like the shiny one as the artist put alot of time into it & it has jewels on one eye to suggest they had alot of time & patience on their hands.
I liked the African mask with the brown colour scheme. Exspecially when some of the features popped out. The way you did the dots on the mask has an massive affect and looks really good. This mask looks REALLY realistic and you have spent a long time on,
bt all of the other masks are really nice as well!!!!!
Good comment, thanks Shanaz. Your lion mask has been extremely popular on here, I hope you have read alll the praising comments are proud of yourself! See Ms Durkin for ☆credit☆ next lesson.
my favorite mask is the yellow, black and brown one because the coulours and the neatness of the mask. I also like it because of the african patterns. My favorite part of it is the circle above the eyes and on the cheeks because the circles are so well designed
I think each and every mask is exceptional for the reasons that you can see how much time and effort is put in all of them just to make them unique and stand out. However, the mask that caught my eye was the lepord skin mask. I specifically like the way they have kept a colour scheme corresponding throught the whole mask. In addition, I think the pattern chose is amazing, they have kept a steady hand and kept they're painting skills to an exeptional high standard. Furthermore, I also like the way they have extended they're mask and created an unusual yet beautiful shape. This shape creates a wild and exotic atmosphere and creates a vivid feature. Also I like the way the artis has used a bright colour as a backround as it emphasizes the black pattern painted onto the mask. Great work!
What a fantastic critique Gabriella! You have thought about your opinions thoroughly and explained yourself showing great artistic awareness, thank you. See Ms Durkin for ☆credit☆ next lesson.
I think that all the masks are fantastic and are at an extremely high standard, however the one i particularly like is the shiny black one with the beautiful and unique peacock feathers on the top. Moreover this catches your eye as it shiny and very bright. As well as looking astonishing you can tell that a lot of time and effort has been put into the mask and it has been carefully thought through. Moving on the diamante pattern is superb it really adds to the shiny black background,which really gives the mask emphasis. The colors picked compliment each other and go very nicely. Not only have the diamonds been stuck onto the mask, they have also been brought in from home meaning that the producer has thought outside the box, to produce an eye opening mask. Furthermore the diamonds have not just been stuck on there any old how they have been placed methodically. The mask is an outstandingly high level and the owner of this art work should be very proud as should every other student!
I think the mask ,at the top, that is mainly brown and yellow is best, because the different shades of brown and yellow blend together, making it stand out. The paint has been applied very carefully and the lips have been made bigger then other masks making it unusual. The parts of the mask where they have been made 3D are eye catching because they have blending in with the mask.
You have explained your opinions really well Frankie and have thought about the process that the went through and the design decisions. Well done! See Ms Durkin for ☆credit☆ next lesson.
I like all of the masks, but my favourite is the black one with red beads and peacock feathers. The colour of the feathers stands out against the dark black background, and the shape of the face is elegant also.
I like all the masks on this page because all of them are unique but still give the feeling that they're all African. I especially liked the lion mask with the pink face because it stands out with the variety of materials used and bright colours.
All masks are all good and high quality. I especially like the black shiny one with the feather on the top. The matching of the colour is very good(blue and black)and the creativity of the work is exellent. I can see how much the artist put effort into the mask including the bit where the artist brang in the feathers in the lesson. The beeds stand out as much as the feathers as well. The standered of work stands out in the many masks.
I like all the masks because they all look very African. I especially like the light blue with the green and white. It stands out to me because of it's paterns and the colours go with eachother.
I Like the tiger pattern. Because it is very creative and animated. You can see that the artist has thought careful about their design.It reminds me of the the cowardly lion in the wizard of oz. I also like that she has stuck to one colour scheme but with different shades and tones.
I love the mask that looks like it's out of scream 4, it has lots of colours on it, it is very well detailed and its a brilliant creative design idea, well done to the person who made that mask.
i think that the golden brown one is very good because it has a great explosion of colours and the colours are dark and light so its a great mixture of the two
I ENJOYED THE 4TH ONE BECAUSE IT HAS USED COLOUR RENDERING AND HAS MADE IT LOOK TOGETHER AND MAKE IT LOOK MORE 3-D WITH THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SHAPES. I LIKE THE WAY THERE ARE NEW SHAPES POPPING OUT MAKING NEW PATTERNS AND MAKING IT FEEL 3-D AS THERE HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT ARTS AROUND IT TO CHANGE THE TEXTURE OR THE FEEL OF THE MASK FROM SOFT TO ROUGH. I LIKE THE WAY THE COLOUR ARE DIFFERENT AND EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE DIFFERENT, THEY LOOK NICE AND DIFFERENT AND THE COLORS REALLY BLEND IN WITH THE STYLE AND MAKES IT LOOK NICE AND EYE CATCHING AND DOES NOT SEEM WEIRD. THE COLOUR MATCHES WITH THE STYLE OF THE MASK AND THE TEXTURE OF THE MASK TO MAKE IT FEEL ROUGH BUT NEATLY BALANCED THE PANT AND DID MORE WORK ON IT WITH THE PATTERNS AND THE MAKING AND RENDERING OF THE COLORS TO MAKE IT LOOK EYE-POPPING AD MAKE YOU GLACE AT IT FOR HOURS AND HOURS DESCRIBING THE TEXTURE AND THE FEEL OF THE WORK. IT LOOKS REALLY REALISTIC AND IT HAS GOT THE STYLE OF THE AFRICAN MASK AND HAS THAT AFRICAN TOUCH AND FREEDOM OF THE AFRICAN CULTURE.
I liked the one with the feathers on the head and the black face because the black face made the other features look bolder nicer and more colour ful.furthermore,the feathers were colourful and bright which makes you want to smile.Maybe you could add sequins next time.I t looked realistic and fun ,thats what caught my attention.
Brilliant comment Iman. I really like the way you have described what it is about the mask that makes you want to smile! See Ms Durkin for ☆credit☆ next lesson.

ReplyDeleteI love the mask that looks like it's out of scream 4, it has lots of colours on it, it is very well detailed and its a brilliant creative design idea, well done to the person who made that mask.
ReplyDeletei think that the golden brown one is very good because it has a great explosion of colours and the colours are dark and light so its a great mixture of the two
ReplyDeleteI ENJOYED THE 4TH ONE BECAUSE IT HAS USED COLOUR RENDERING AND HAS MADE IT LOOK TOGETHER AND MAKE IT LOOK MORE 3-D WITH THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SHAPES. I LIKE THE WAY THERE ARE NEW SHAPES POPPING OUT MAKING NEW PATTERNS AND MAKING IT FEEL 3-D AS THERE HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT ARTS AROUND IT TO CHANGE THE TEXTURE OR THE FEEL OF THE MASK FROM SOFT TO ROUGH. I LIKE THE WAY THE COLOUR ARE DIFFERENT AND EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE DIFFERENT, THEY LOOK NICE AND DIFFERENT AND THE COLORS REALLY BLEND IN WITH THE STYLE AND MAKES IT LOOK NICE AND EYE CATCHING AND DOES NOT SEEM WEIRD. THE COLOUR MATCHES WITH THE STYLE OF THE MASK AND THE TEXTURE OF THE MASK TO MAKE IT FEEL ROUGH BUT NEATLY BALANCED THE PANT AND DID MORE WORK ON IT WITH THE PATTERNS AND THE MAKING AND RENDERING OF THE COLORS TO MAKE IT LOOK EYE-POPPING AD MAKE YOU GLACE AT IT FOR HOURS AND HOURS DESCRIBING THE TEXTURE AND THE FEEL OF THE WORK. IT LOOKS REALLY REALISTIC AND IT HAS GOT THE STYLE OF THE AFRICAN MASK AND HAS THAT AFRICAN TOUCH AND FREEDOM OF THE AFRICAN CULTURE.
ReplyDeletei like the 1last mask because the person added a lot of detail to it and it had alot of nice colours that match it and.
ReplyDeleteGood choice, thanks Keirha. Try to expand you comments by writing in detail. See Ms Durkin for ☆credit☆ next lesson.
DeleteI liked all of the masks but i especially liked the one which had the lions mane around it because it was very creative and it looked very realistic.
ReplyDeleteGood choice Gresa, this is a brilliant mask! See Ms Durkin for a ☆credit☆ next lesson.
DeleteI liked the one with the feathers on the head and the black face because the black face made the other features look bolder nicer and more colour ful.furthermore,the feathers were colourful and bright which makes you want to smile.Maybe you could add sequins next time.I t looked realistic and fun ,thats what caught my attention.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant comment Iman. I really like the way you have described what it is about the mask that makes you want to smile! See Ms Durkin for ☆credit☆ next lesson.
