In the classroom sketchbook drawings are developed by exploring shapes and styles they record to develop their own designs. Leaners are encouraged to discuss the use of the masks and how the shaped and patterns might have been symbolic of the use.

Teamwork skills, Speaking and listening, peer led learning and assessment. Independent in practical work through development of confidence in skills and exploration of materials.
