Exeter-Milligan School Update: Art Classes


Art Classes at Exeter-Milligan by Jill Shipley


The art classes at Exeter-Milligan recently learned about
Chinese
Opera masks.  They learned about the different colors used
and how they stand for different meanings and studied the
shapes used and how the designs were symmetrical.

Then they created their own mask using a paper Mache
construction.  Next they created their own opera mask design
using some shapes from examples.  Then they painted their
design on their mask.

They turned out great.
