Fourth grade students looked at authentic coconut masks made by Mexican Nahua Indian families; half a coconut is used for the base, then seeds and corn and plants are used to add features and hair. Students used balloons as armatures and celluclay to make the features on their 'coconut' masks.
We are art teachers in Baltimore City Public Schools. Worldview is an arts integration program that we created to introduce our elementary and middle school students to world cultures and to lead students in making connections between their lives and the culture of study.
