We made masks to respect and honour the chinese culture. We also made them to celebrate Chinese new year. We made the masks out of paper plates and drew designs of them.
Even in this day and age Chinese masks are use within two elements of the chinese culture. Thye Chinese new year masks which are worn by Chinese people to welcome the new year throughout the world.
The opera masks which are painted and drawn on the faces of the actors and singers and are use to depicit the traits and characteristics throughout the world.
Chinese new year masks are not seen at any other time of year. The exciting and extravagant Chinese new year can last for week or longer and ends with Yuan Xiou which is a lantern festival. The masks used depict the moods and emotion of enjoyment and happiness which tie in with the ceromonies and festival. Chinese people typically will buy presents ,buy new clothes and cook expensive meals for the new year period.Throughout this period many works of arts and crafts like the chinese masks in their rich and vivid colours are worn and displayed to show the nature of the festivity.
