The practice of mask-wearing has a long history, even becoming
mandatory in times of global crisis. In this useful contribution to
the performing arts curriculum, Maskword: The Background, Making
and Use of Masks takes a new look at the creative and timeless art
of masks and mask-making, while also exploring their cultural
anthropology from prehistory to the present day. Drawing on her
extensive experience in professional theatre and running workshops,
Foreman promotes the life-affirming qualities of masks, providing
us with an invaluable resource for artists and teachers, as well as
parents seeking activities for children at home. Eight themed
projects use photographs to document masks and mask-making
techniques, with each one offering practical advice and design
ideas; materials are inexpensive and easy to acquire. With
photographs by Richard Penton.
Things My Child Likes to Do enables educational decision-makers to
collect information on children's social, emotional, motivational,
and creative abilities from the perspective of those who know them
best: their parents or guardians. These scales can be used as one
component of a multiple measures identification system for gifted,
talented, or enrichment programming or to collect information on
students' readiness, interests, and learning profiles. The scales
have been subjected to content and construct validation to provide
clear, accurate, and informative data regarding student
characteristics. Includes 100 sets of 4-page booklets containing
the Things My Child Likes to Do scale for administration purposes.
