Plaster masks can be used for a theater or as decoration. Here you can learn how to create them.
Material
- Gypsum bandages
- Bowl of water
- Levea cream or otherwise a greasy cream
- Paint/acrylic paint
- possibly some spray paint
Process
Either outside on the floor or cover the floor with plastic.
||
Cut the plaster bandages into large and small pieces - best in a kettle/container.
||
In partner work: Someone creams their face very very well with Nivea cream (also eyebrows and at the hairline) - you can also cover the hairline and eyes with cling film for safety.
||
The second person takes a plaster binder puts it in a bowl filled with water and puts it on the face and so on (a plaster mask needs about 4 layers).
Caution:Leave nostrils free!!!
||
When the face mask is dry, the person can try to make grimaces under the mask so that it slowly comes off.
||
Finished: Now you can let it dry for a short time and paint it. With gouache, I would paint it when it is completely dry (takes a few days to dry). With acrylic paint, this is not necessary.
When cleaning up, don't pour the plaster water into the sink (the plaster settles) but outside into the bushes.
