Face it

Students investigate the representation of the face in traditional and theatrical masks.

Students will:

  • consider how exaggeration and distortion of facial features creates expression that has meaning for an audience
  • make drawings of faces, emphasising exaggeration and distortion
  • use these drawings as a reference for making a ceramic mask
  • make digital portraits and use software to manipulate images to exaggerate expression.
