Start with a mix of 1 part water to 3 parts glue. Mix your glue mixture together in a cup.
Add your glue and water mixture to a container with your paper. You'll use roughly 1 part glue mix to 3 or 4 parts of paper pulp.
Thoroughly mix and knead the paper and glue mix together until it forms a soft pliable dough-like texture. If your clay can't hold it's shape and slumps over you may need to add more paper.
Tips: The thinner you can get your clay the better. Thick pieces of clay will take a long time to completely dry.
Use the sculpting wire mesh to help add strength to flat pieces like leaves or wings.
Use wire to help strengthen long pieces like horns, antenna, or noses.
Use crumpled paper for large bulky forms like bumps cheeks, etc.
You can cut up your paper mask too!

EFFORT! You'll have 4 full classes to work on these. Make sure your mask design reflects that. You should plan to finish the sculpture part by the 3rd class at the latest. This give your mask time to dry, and lets you have a full class to paint it.
Creativity. The more of the mask you cover the better. If you just rely on the original mask you haven't done much on your own. You can also add extra things to your mask! Look around the room the room or bring in something to add to it.
Neatness. Make sure you're giving your mask as clean of a finish as possible. It doesn't have to be perfectly smooth, but it shouldn't look messy on accident. Your paint job should be interesting and detailed as well.
