Store-bought paper pulp - a mask




this store-bought paper pulp proved to be a success for students who with low motor skills. 

it was easy to use and clean was a breeze too. for students who did not like dirt or alternative texture, overcome their dislike fast. 

For this project, we used the material to create a mask or a face. 

Step 1: mix pulp and water. there is a range of texture to experiment with. 

Step 2: layer pulp on a paper plate. we are keeping the ate as a base. if you choose to have only the pulp, advice to use a plastic. 

another option is to cut paper plate to a design. students can scrap away pulp with pencil or stick to create a design as how the eyes are done. you will achive a relief effect.

Step 3: take handful of pulp and mould them into forms; cubes, sphere, teardrop, semi-circle, triangles, etc. Press into base layer. 

Step 4: Add colours, we used a minture of water and food colouring. 

Tip: white glue will help stick parts when dry.
