[bright upbeat music] - Hi everybody, my name is Daniel.

Today we're going to make a special kind of art.

We're going to explore some materials to make a mask.

Now, what is a mask?

- Something that goes on your face.

- Have you worn a mask before?

- Yes.

- Yeah, I have!

- When?

- I have a pumpkin mask.

- A pumpkin mask?

Now a mask is something that we wear and we can pretend to be different characters.

Today we're going to make a mask using different papers.

Let's look at the materials that we have.

So you notice that I have different kinds of color paper here.

I have here liquid glue.

And we're going to use a craft stick to spread the glue.

We can also use a glue stick.

Hmm.

What kind of mask should I make?

I'm gonna make a mask that is all about me.

Let's begin.

I'm gonna start with this red paper.

Now, I noticed that this shape is a little bit like a rectangle, right?

But I would like to make something that is more curved, a little bit like an oval or a circle.

So show me your pinching fingers.

I'm gonna put my pinching fingers together and I'm gonna tear a little bit.

See, slowly.

I'm gonna tear just the corners.

[soft bright music] Do you notice that it's a little bit more rounded?

Now let me see.

I have the big shape for my mask.

What details should I add to make a mask?

- Eyes, nose, cheeks.

- Excellent.

- And mouth.

- And mouth.

Very important.

So let's just start little by little.

I'm gonna start with the eyes.

So I'm gonna tear a little bit here.

And I like this one for the big shape of the eye.

Now, do you notice something else in the eye?

We have the big shape of the eye, but we also have the pupil.

So I'm gonna tear it a little [indistinct].

Even smaller than before.

Now, I would like to add a nose.

Should I have a long piece or a short piece?

- Short!

- A short piece like this.

- I'm gonna try.

I'm just gonna go like this.

Ready?

We're gonna wiggle a little bit and then I'm gonna tear it.

Listen carefully to the sound, too.

It makes a sound.

Now let me see.

Maybe it's a little bit too long.

I'm gonna pinch it and I'm gonna tear it a little bit.

You mentioned the mouth.

The mouth is very important because the mouth helps us show feelings.

Now what happens when we feel happy?

What do you notice about the shape of the mouth?

Do you notice that it curls up a little bit?

Excellent.

Now what happens when we feel sad?

How would you show me sad?

I notice that the mouth goes a little bit down and your lip goes a little bit out too.

Now what happens when we feel a little bit angry?

How would you show me angry?

I notice that the mouth is a little bit straight and short and a little bit tight.

Now what when we feel surprised.

[gasps] It looks a little bit like a circle or an oval.

Do you notice that?

Maybe I'm gonna choose the green piece of paper and I'm gonna see what kind of feeling my mask shows.

Ready?

So look, maybe if I put it this way, it might look a little bit surprised.

Okay, what other details should I add?

- Ears.

- Ears.

I can use a little bit of these pieces, but for the moment I think I'm ready to glue my details to the mask.

I'm gonna go.

- [Group] Dip, dip, dip.

Wipe, wipe, wipe.

Spread, spread, spread like butter on bread.

- I'm gonna glue that little piece here.

Press.

- [Group] Press, press.

- Now I need to glue the big piece to the mask.

So I'm gonna go.

- [Group] Dip, dip, dip.

Wipe, wipe, wipe.

Spread, spread, spread like butter on bread.

- [Daniel] And I'm gonna.

- [Group] Press, press, press.

- And now it is your turn to make a mask using different papers and different shapes.

So let's begin by tearing and just take your time as we always do.

Perfect.

- I did it.

- [Daniel] Excellent.

So what are you going to add next?

- I wanna add my nose.

I wanna add my eyes, red.

- Now my mouth.

- And with your mouth, I wonder, what kind of feeling are you going to show?

- This little piece is gonna be my mouth.

But my head is getting pretty long.

- That's great.

You know what is nice about masks is that we can pretend that they are different characters, right?

And I love that you're adding details.

You're adding the pupil inside, you have a bigger shape and a smaller shape.

- So this one will be the hair.

- Look, I did it.

I'm gonna add some more blue.

- You can always add other details.

Might be hair or eyebrows, if you would like to.

- I did it.

- Are you ready to glue?

- Yeah.

- [Group] Dip, dip, dip.

Wipe, wipe, wipe.

Spread, spread like butter on bread.

- Press, press, press.

- I'm gonna pretend I'm having a funny eye right there.

- A funny eye?

What piece are you gluing now?

- The ear.

- What shape are you gluing now on the mask?

- I'm gluing the eyes.

- The eye.

- These are the headphones.

- What shape are you gonna glue next?

- I'm gonna glue the mouth.

This and then the.

- Excellent.

- I just have one more to go.

- Okay, now it is our time to share our masks.

Okay, so I'm gonna ask you to think about a name and you can change your voice, too.

Hi, what is your name?

- Little Sparkles.

- Hi, Little Sparkles.

How are you feeling right now?

- I feel sad.

- Hello, what is your name?

- Hello Kitty.

- And what do you like to do?

- We have to practice.

- And what do you like to do?

- I like to go on my scooter and scoot everywhere.

- And how are you feeling right now?

- Handsome!

- Handsome?

- Are you feeling handsome?

- Handsome?

[laughs] - Okay, now it is your turn to make your mask.

What shapes will you use?

What feeling will you show?

And what kind of things are you going to say when you wear your mask?

Have fun, artist.
