For our Wind in the Willows project we are to create costumes to go down the Sewhat catwalk, each person will be given a character ( either Mole, Toad, Badger, Rat or Weasel) and will be creating a head for this animal. The heads or masks are based upon the carnival celebration known as Mardi Gras ( or Shrove Tuesday in english)
Here are some examples I have found off the internet of some of the heads used in the carnival:
Personally I find the exaggerated facial expressions of the 'human' heads are slightly terrifying.
However i appreciate the unique art form, i think all together the carnival, with its bright colours, is eye catching and I think when all our Wind in the Willows heads are finished and we're all in costume it'll look spectacular.
