Designing dresses, hats, and masks was a fun way to get students to see how every day objects can be made into costumes for theater. It's an exercise in creativity to look at one thing and see something else. It's that kind of ability that made a butter container and roll on deodorant into the first computer mouse. Some of my students saw faces in paper bags, cardboard boxes, or pie pans. Mask making wrapped our our costume design month and I think most of the students were pleased with their work. It's hard to tell how they really were feeling though, because of the masks.
