This past spring, ARTSiE offered a Mask-Making class at Washington Elementary School, led by Mr. Piloto, Ms. Salaiza, and Ms. Laura. Over the course of several weeks, young artists chose animals they wanted to create and used the technique of paper mâché, called Cartonería, to bring their animals to life.

At the end of the session, the students proudly presented their finished masks at the Washington Elementary Cultural Fair, where family members were able to admire the hard work and imagination of the children. The Mask-Making class is a reminder to families, teachers and the community of how powerful art education can be, fostering creativity, cultural awareness, and a sense of community. At ARTSiE, we’re proud to provide these enriching experiences, and we’re excited to continue offering opportunities for children and families to explore their artistic potential in the future.
