An artist shows a KS1 art class how to make peacock masks.

In this programme Zoe Carter-Beedie leads a KS1 art lesson, making 3D peacock masks with pupils at Fonthill Primary School in Bristol. During the programme she explains each stage of the process so that viewers can carry out the same lesson with their own pupils. Zoe begins by getting the pupils to look at pictures of peacocks and discuss the colours and designs of their feathers. She demonstrates how to draw a peacock face on their mask templates, providing the pupils with a guide picture to work from. Once the pupils have drawn out the faces, Zoe demonstrates how to paint on the colours and the details of the face. She provides a limited palate to get the pupils to concentrate on using a limited number of colours. When the masks are dry, it’s a simple matter for Zoe to fold the mask. One staple holds the mask in shape, transforming it into a 3D mask.
