Mask:Home Art Project(given on 11/6/09) (Due date – 11/12/09)


Supplies:

Directions:

  • Place 3 small sections of wet paper towel over eyes (including the brows) and mouth

    With one gauze square at a time, dip in water, (set water closest to person – set gauze next to it) then smooth onto face, leaving nostrils open, but working around and between them (cut thin strips to go in between nostrils). Continue to cover whole face, (approx. 2 – 3 layers) until you can't see through gauze to skin. Gently smoothing into features. Do not go below the chin, just up to chin and jawbone, and to hairline.
