Lord of the Flies Masks

…what was a face? What was anything?

Part One: Do one of the following two options……

Freudian faces
Divide your partners face into 3 sectors. Think of them as Id, Ego, Super Ego.
Paint symbols from the book and from your own life to represent our divided consciousness as Golding represents this in the novel. Make sure to include elements of the story that would convey your message.

OR

Themes
Portray, on your partner’s face, an important theme from the novel through the creative use of artistic elements
The face should contain recognizable elements of the story that work to convey the stated theme.

Tips
∑ Don’t choose colors until you have an idea of what you want your face to look like (I suggest a sketch first). Do not “freeform” your art; you may not like what you end up with.
∑ A little paint goes a long way. Make sure you have used all of it before asking for more.

Part Two: Written explanation

The visual art will be accompanied, next class, by a typed paper that gives a complete description and explanation of the face design.

The writing should show the creative process involved in designing the mask with specific references to incidents and characters in the novel.

The mask you have created will then be presented explained orally next class using a photograph I will take today.
