A Small World with Many Cultures

Oliver Laniear


So yesterday afternoon we went to a mask making guys house to learn about mask making. He explained to us how he does it and how the different masks that he made meant different things in his culture. After that his kids showed us how they dance with the masks on and what type of music they do it to. Then it was our turn so a couple of students, me included, got up put the costumes on and danced with them and it was kind of fun really, side note: I dont know how they do that for hours for parades because I did it for five minutes and was burning up. So we had fun and the mask Ms. Wilds had on "had a DONK" according to Tajah Russell. Then three students had a chance to make a mask themselves to see who can take one home. And if you won he will use your mask and make a real one to put in his collection.

Faith won.
