About it
A fun mask is for playing. It makes people laugh. There are many kinds of masks. Some look like animals, some look like superheroes, some look funny. Children wear fun masks at parties, at festivals, or when playing.
Your task
Draw a fun mask for yourself. Draw your fun mask on paper using coloured pens or pencils. What kind of fun mask will it be? Will it be an animal mask, or a superhero mask, or something else? Your mask will need two holes for your eyes to see through, and a hole for your mouth to speak through. Use a string or elastic to hold your fun mask on. Make your fun mask out of paper or card. See how it looks.
Do it step-by-step
To design is to make something new, just as we want it to be. We design step-by-step. The first step is to LEARN. We want to know more about the thing that we are designing. So, we learn about it. The next step is to DRAW. We draw it just as we want it to be. Drawing is designing. The last step is to MAKE. We make it just as we want it to be. When it is made, we can finally see it!
