Tech Team Mask Making

Picture

​During a 2-hour time slot, teams of four (4) students produce and bring to life a theatrically-based design for masks based on a show-specific prompt.

Students will need to provide their own materials, ranging from hot-glue guns and glue sticks to glitter to fabric to feathers, and all points in-between!

Only one team per school.
​​The play selected for you to design WILL BE REVEALED AT THE CONTEST. 

DO NOT TELL THE PLAY TITLE SELECTION TO OTHERS. Other troupes may be designing at a later time - don't give them an advantage over you!
  • You will have 2 hours to complete 2 mask designs and construct the masks. At the end of 2 hours your square must be completely clean.
  • The finished mask, Concept Statement, this Handout, and your Mask Design Score Sheet must be placed in the designated judging area.
  • Make sure your Troupe Number, your School Name, and the Name of your Four Contestants are legibly written on your Mask Design Scoring Sheet.
  • Write your Troupe Number and School Name in the lower right corner on the BACK of all your paperwork.
  • You may not use spray paint in your designs.
  • You may not use spray adhesives in your designs.
  • You may use glue, staples, or do any construction that makes your mask work but it must be wearable.
  • You are strongly discouraged from using pre-purchased mask items.
  • You will receive a summary and a list of character descriptions from the play, as well as the design rubric. The materials are for reference use only. Please only write on the papers where instructed.
  • You are encouraged to come up with your own original design. Electronic devices are not to be used for research and should be avoided at all times during competition.​​
​IMPORTANT: PLEASE MAKE SURE TO WRITE YOUR CONCEPT STATEMENT ON THE BACK OF YOUR MASK RENDERINGS.

Designs are judged on the following criteria:DESIGN ELEMENTS: Are the elements of design utilized to create a complete cohesive mask?

MASK CONSTRUCTION: Was there a complete mask constructed on the mask form that displayed knowledge of how masks are constructed?

COMPONENTS OF DESIGN PROCESS: Was there a concept statement for the designs, renderings (2) and a mask present on the armature at the end of the preparation time?

OVERALL IMPRESSION: Does the design and constructed mask meet the needs of the play and the vision described in the concept?
