Introduce students to the exciting world of Ancient Greek theater and mythology with this hands-on mask project. Inspired by the masks worn by actors in ancient Greek plays, students will create their own theater mask based on one of six famous mythological characters: Zeus, Poseidon, Apollo, Dionysus, Aphrodite, or Medusa.
This resource offers two flexible project options. Students can transform inexpensive 3D paper masks into dramatic Greek characters or use the included printable mask templates for a low-prep classroom activity. Character guides, printable decorations, mythology references, and easy-to-follow instructions help students design masks using authentic symbols, colors, and accessories associated with each figure from Greek mythology.
Complete with printable templates, decorative elements, mythology reference pages, student examples, and extension ideas, this resource is perfect for art classrooms, Ancient Greece units, theater classes, museums, and cross-curricular lessons. Students will enjoy combining art, storytelling, and mythology while creating a mask inspired by one of history’s most fascinating civilizations.
