Event Details

Celebrating Black History Month, this weeks craft will be creating an African mask. 

African masks come in an array of shapes, colors, and patterns and made out of various materials. These masks though sometimes used as decoration, play an important role in rituals of African tribes and part of their religious worship. 

Today, however,  we will be focusing on their artistic values.

Supplies:

  • Paper rolls
  • Pencil
  • Scissors
  • Paint 

*All supplies are provided but quantities are limited and available on a first-come, first-serve basis.*
Sponsored by the Friends of the Dallas Public Library
