Mask making is the art of creating masks for various purposes, including performance, decoration, and cultural rituals. Masks can be made from a variety of materials such as paper, clay, fabric, or plastic. They often represent characters, animals, or abstract designs and are used in celebrations, theater, and festivals. The process of mask making involves designing, shaping, and decorating the mask. Artists may use techniques like painting, carving, or adding embellishments to enhance the mask's appearance. In many cultures, such as those of the Native Americans or African tribes, masks hold significant spiritual meaning and are used in traditional ceremonies.
