Greek theatre mask

My Greek theatre mask:

I have made my mask at home from scratch, it took me an hour and a half to make it. I have made it with paper Mache I had to wait a long time for the mask to dry but I have done it achieving and finishing the assignment.

The type of mask I have chosen was related to comedy because of the smile and the details on the mask, It has big cheeks and a big grin I think it was made really well.
I have used bright colours on the mask to show that it is a comedy related mask.

Here is my mask in progress:

I have still not painted it and not given the details and features. I have used the colors red and brown for the mouth and black for the eyebrows and pink for the cheeks.








Here is my mask ready to be used:

It looks much different than the first one because of the colors, there was a big improvement from the first one. I really enjoyed making the mask and designing it.

Reflection of Oudipus and the sphinx oracle scene.

Reflection of my acted scene of Oedipus and the sphinx:

My group and I have been learning about Greek theatre and the story of Oedipus and the sphinx, our assignment was to act out an oracle scene from the play and take a video, Our group has done it two times and there was a big difference between the two

This is the first play we have done:

 When we started to rehearse for the scene it has taken us a while to sort out the roles and choose one of the oracles but we had managed to finish it at the end. We had not presented it on stage and every group had presented it at the same time and we recorded it in a close view.











This is the second play we have done:

When we started with this play we had 10 minutes to rehearse for the play because it was another day and we might have forgotten the lines. After the ten minutes each of the groups had to perform on stage one by one, the play had to include a chorus part of the scene.
It is such a big difference from the last video and we have improved a lot.
