Papier Mache

HERE'S SOME HELPFUL HINTS FROM THE CLASS OF 'O8

You'll need

~ a large plastic shopping bag - bring one to school

~ lots and lots of newspaper to stuff your bag with very tightly packed paper

~ masking tape to shape the form

~ more newspaper to make additional forms for the outside of you mask. ~ drawings of front, side and back views of your mask idea

These images show the stages of mask building - construction around the plastic bag frame, texture created with modelling paste, then tonal painting

Colour Schemes:

A colour scheme is the choice of colours used in design for a range of media. For example, the use of a white background with black text is an example of a basic and commonly default colour scheme in web design.

Colour schemes are used to create style and appeal. Colours that create an aesthetic feeling when used together will commonly accompany each other in colour schemes. A basic colour scheme will use 2 colours that look appealing together. More advanced colour schemes involve several colours mixed together, usually based around a single colour; for example, text with such colours as red, yellow, orange and light blue arranged together on a black background in a magazine article.

Colour schemes can also contain different shades of a single colour; for example, a colour scheme that mixes different shades of green, ranging from very light (almost white) to very dark.
