Antigone Mask Project As we learned before we started reading the play, Antigone, the ancient Greeks used large masks that represented the characters in their plays. For this project, you will create your own Greek mask! Directions: Create a mask for one of the characters or allusions in Antigone that visually represents the most significant elements of that character or allusion. You will not be graded on artistic ability, but your mask must be neat, colorful, and clearly illustrate significant elements of the character. You will also write a short paper explaining your mask. Choose One: Characters Antigone Ismene Eurydice Creon Haimon Teiresias Sentry Choragos Allusions Oedipus Dirce Niobe Tantalos Persephone Danae Lycorgos The Nine Muses Allusions Hephaistos Zeus The Furies Kadmeian Semele Kadmos Dionysos Pallas Athena Hecate Before creating the mask, find 3 pieces of evidence from the text that supports your visual interpretation. In the case of characters and gods mentioned in allusions, you will need to do some research online to find evidence. Creative component (mask) criteria: • use symbols to clearly represent the significant elements of that character or allusion • base your mask on 3 pieces of textual evidence from the play (or research, if an allusion) • use colors and be neat • be creative!
