DAILY PLAN
Lesson Title: Animal masks Pt. 2 Grade Level: 1st grade

S & S Statements: This lesson is an extension to learning how to create a 3-D mask working from a
2-D design. The students will be given creative freedom to choose what
colors and geometric shapes they want to incorporate into an animal mask
they previously designed on construction paper.

Concepts and Skills: Students will be able to work from their 2-D design to create a 3-D mask
portraying the visual elements of a specific animal face. The students will
exercise their understanding of the composition by including 3 different
geometric shapes and an element extending off the mask using construction
paper. The students will also identify where the eyes belong the mask by cutting
out the eye holes proportionately.

Vocabulary: Design, geometric

Purpose of Lesson (Overall Lesson Objective): Students will carefully create a detailed mask using
a minimum of 3 different geometric shapes and an element extending off the mask out of construction
paper onto a paper plate while incorporating accurate animal characteristics made in their 2-D design.

Objectives: Students will accurately use of a variety of geometric shapes and an extending element
in order to create a successful composition. Students will be expected to successfully translate their 2-
D design onto their 3-D mask.

Assessment Criteria:
1. Accurately create a mask proportionate to the face.
2. Incorporate the animal characteristics from their 2-D designs onto their 3-D animal masks.
3. Successfully convey their chosen animal characteristics with a minimum of 3 geometric shapes
and an extending element on their animal masks.

Teaching Resources Needed to Support the Lesson:

A PowerPoint presentation will be projecting images of both:
African masks; productive example of combining animal features with the human face
Animal faces; provides inspiration for what animal they want to portray

Physical examples of our own animal masks incorporating a minimum of 3 geometric shapes and an
extending element out of construction paper to portray our animal of choice.

Art Materials Necessary for the Lesson: Construction paper, glue stick, scissors, pencil, paper plate
 Teacher Directed Activities
Introduction:
We will begin the class with a demonstration of how
to work from the 2-D mask designs created last class
to assemble a 3-D animal mask using a paper plate
and construction paper. We will emphasize the new
requirements of incorporating 3 different geometric
shapes and an extending element on the 3-D mask.
The students will learn how helpful having a detailed
2-D design is when creating a 3-D project. We will
then demonstrate how to fold the paper plate in half
and cut out eye holes so they are proportionate.
Development:
We will guide the students on how to use their ideas
and 2-D designs from last class in order to assemble
a 3-D animal mask. We will explain how students
should work from their designs to incorporate a
minimum of 3 geometric shapes and an extending
element to create the detail in their animal masks.
Conclusion:
We will ask the students to complete the cutting and
gluing portion of their masks and then collect them
for next class.
Critical Comments and Reflections:

Student Activities
Introduction:
The students will watch and be involved in the
demonstrations, and they will then be asked to
work from their 2-D designs when creating their
own 3-D masks. They will incorporate at least
3 different geometric shapes and an extending
element in their 3-D mask.
Development:
Students will look off of their 2-D mask designs
to incorporate the ideas and animal
characteristics they came up with in the
previous class. Students will develop a basic
understanding on how to use their designs to
create a 3-D animal mask.
Conclusion:
The students will complete the cutting and
gluing portion of the animal masks.
