The fun part about studying tribal masks is learning just how many different looks there are, spread across many different ages and cultures. Even just a quick google search will show you what I mean.
The one thing the masks all seem to have in common though is that they have simple, exaggerated features made in big and bold ways. Colors too are all chosen to get the most attention, so you can understand why they might be so much fun for kids to draw.
This mask drawing is just one possibility. Its very dramatic features can certainly be filled in with natural colors, or over-the-top bright ones like the example here. Students will love coming up with their own version.
