This document provides step-by-step instructions for creating an African-inspired mask out of paper. The instructions include writing identification information on the paper, folding it in half and drawing half a mask, tracing the other half, taping the drawing onto tooling foil, using a ballpoint pen to trace over the drawing, choosing two areas to create low relief textures, adding additional patterns through repoussing, removing the drawing from the foil, creating low relief areas by applying pressure, brushing ink over the mask, rubbing it with steel wool, optionally adding color with markers, mounting the mask on black paper with decorations, writing identification on the back, and self-grading using a rubric.
