Masks as a means of self-expression

This resource encourages learners to think about how masks became a commodity associated with fashion throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. Masks therefore became a means of self-expression, creativity and entrepreneurship.

This is the third activity in a series of resources designed around masks. See the others below:

• Examining masks using slow looking
• Masks within performance
• Masks as a symbol of protest
• Masks as a means of protection

SHAPE is a collective name for social sciences, humanities and the arts. SHAPE subjects play a vital role within our communities and in shaping our lives – past, present and future. SHAPE skills give us the tools to enact change and allow us to better understand the world by providing a myriad of ways to express, analyse and interpret our global world and human experiences.
