TRAGEDY!

Most of my schools will be looking at the Olympics at some point this term I am no great sportsman, so this is my contribution - the Ancient Greeks - tragedy and comedy.


This term is all about 3d and sculpture.  Times are hard and resources are hard to come by, so we are starting off with card. 


Based on the theatrical masks of Ancient Greece, the class chose tragic or comedic characters.  Eyes and a mouth were cut from a folded piece of card, with the emphasis on symmetry and mood.


A second piece of card was used to make a nose and brow and glued to the face at an angle to form a realistic profile.


Hair, beards and laurel wreaths were added using curled and scored card scraps.

  1. Perfect timing - thanks so much for sharing this. We are headed into our final weeks of school and I've yet to start my ancient art unit with my 3rd graders. I think this might be just the thing I can squeeze in. Really cool.

  7. We are doing a fun day based around Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs. Was looking for an easy art activity (45 mins) that was not drawing or painting where students could represent a new dwarf they had created. This will adapt brilliantly! How can a you create face to show emotion and personality without using words? Thank you.

  10. It pulls the username from the environment variables and passes that into the net user command as well as the /domain parameter to tell it to pull from the mbr or gpt for storage current domain. Then it pipes the result from that, which is a bunch of data on the current user, to a find method which will pull out.

  11. I did this today at Drama Camp for 5th -8th graders, and the masks turned out so well. Even my high school and college age counselors got into making them. I will certainly use this project again.
