Giraffes Can't Dance Masks

Last term for art we learnt how to create a paper mache mask. We were inspired by the book "Giraffes Can't Dance" by Giles Andreae.

We learnt that you need to make at least four or five layers of paper mache with a lot of glue, if you don't work fast and get enough layers on, your balloon might sink and you have to start again.

We then had to choose a character from Giraffes Can't Dance, and make our mask like that animal. Some of the things were hard to design and we had to think very creatively, check out the horns, trunks and noses we made.



Once we were finished with our masterpieces, we reenacted Giraffe Can't Dance as a drama. We had to go and learn the dances from the book and perform for the class and camera.

Finally the editing process is done and here is our version of Giraffes Can't Dance. We hope you enjoy!
