African mask?

Question

Can anyone give me instructions to make an African mask and a good source of the tribe of that mask? Thanks.

Answer 1

Well, that's quite a task. I don't think it could be answered in even one book! I have researched and made two African-style masks. They were for a sculpture class, and it was up to us to invent our own method to make the masks. In fact, most art classes will not teach you HOW to create anything. If you lived near me, I could help you learn some methods to both research and construction, but I think you will have to just buy some materials and start experimenting. You may email me through my profile.
