MASK MAKING LECTURE & WORKSHOP
A Hands-on Art Experience
As an award-winning mask maker, Zarco Guerrero has worked with over 40,000 Arizona students in the last 20 years to create personalized masks. He presents a lecture including a powerpoint presentation prior to the hands-on experience. The theme of mask making can easily be applied to other subjects in a school’s curriculum such as history, geography, mythology and story telling. Masks can be made from paper using simple folding and cutting techniques or can also be created with plaster bandage to produce more durable masks for performances. The artist is available for weekly residencies and/or day-long services.
1 assembly $350.00; 2 assemblies $550.00
MASK MAKING ACTIVITIES
Under the Guidance of Zarco Guerrero
Masks have been used for thousands of years by many indigenous peoples throughout the world. They have the power to conceal or reveal and can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. We offer mask making experiences for various ages and in various media:
• Cut-Out Colored Paper Masks (K-6) Participants will create their own patterns by cutting/pasting paper.
• Press Mold Cast Paper Masks (6-12) Participants utilize molds to create their own air-dried clay masks. (Institution must provide the special clay; Artist will provide the mini molds.)
• Coloring Masks (K-3) The artist will provide a few examples of masks patterns in paper to be cut out, colored and decorated by the participants.
$360.00/day (up to 4 hours/period of services); $1,200.00/week-long residency
