Art can also be used for celebrations and special occasions. Art made for those purposes is called: ceremonial.
Masks are ceremonial artworks. Masks can change the way people look, act, speak, and feel. Often, masks are used to celebrate something special. What animals are these masks celebrating? Do these masks have symmetry?
The Yupik Native Americans are using masks in their celebration. Which animals are they celebrating? Are the dancers acting differently while wearing their masks?
Have you ever worn a mask? What was it of? How did you act with your mask on?
