Masks and Time

Today we varnished the plaster casts we made from the plaster molds of our faces. Next week, we will start building paper mache masks on top of these casts. The students are excited to get to the part of the project that actually involves making a mask that will go on their face.
I stayed after school to work with my new student teacher, Craig. He is a career changer and so has seen a bit of life--more than me--and it feels good to work with someone who has his act together. I am really enjoying having him in the class and am excited to see how he uses this time. In staying late, I saw a beautiful sunset as I left the building.
