Hi! They're known as Comedy and Tragedy or Thespian Masks. The comedy and tragedy masks have their origin in the theatre of ancient Greece. The masks were used to show the emotions of the characters in a play, and also to allow actors to switch between roles and play characters of a different gender. Here's a whole bunch of history about it... hope that this helped!
