Masks and Merriment

Masks and Merriment

I had the wonderful opportunity to lead a mask-making program recently at the great  Baldwin Hills Public Library, part of the Los Angeles Public Library system.

Parents worked alongside their children, and joined in the fun!

We created three-dimensional masks of flat sheets of bright tag paper by cutting through the corners and attaching the edges.

Participants then creatively adorned and

developed their mask

characters.

We can become someone else when wearing our masks…

And maybe, become more ourselves!

And isn’t that what the creative process is all about?
