Unleash creativity and storytelling with the Mask Making collection, where visual arts and performance come together in an engaging, hands-on learning experience. This collection guides students through the full creative process—designing, constructing and performing with their own masks—while exploring cultural traditions from around the world.
Students begin by learning how to design and build a papier-mâché mask, developing practical art-making skills and an understanding of how masks have been used across different cultures and contexts. In Decorating a Mask, they personalise their creations using paint, textures and found materials. The learning then extends into performance, with Drama Activities with Masks supporting students to develop characters, movement and storytelling through drama.
With step-by-step instructional videos, structured lesson sequences and practical classroom activities, teachers are equipped with everything needed to deliver engaging lessons with minimal preparation.
Aligned to The Australian Curriculum: The Arts (Visual Arts and Drama), this collection builds creativity, cultural understanding and expressive confidence—making it an ideal, ready-to-use resource for busy teachers.
