In today’s art lesson, Miss Gove discussed traditional African masks, highlighting their significance and the variety of materials used to create them, including wood, metal, and fabric. She explained that these masks are often used in ceremonies and come in a range of colors, primarily earthy tones like brown, black, and sometimes vibrant colors. The students were encouraged to design their own African masks, using creativity while keeping in mind the unique features and patterns typical of these masks. As they began their drawings, Miss Gove emphasized the importance of placing facial features correctly, particularly the eyes in the center of the mask.
