This program consists of a ten minute power point slide show that traces face painting from ancient Egypt up to modern day party face painting as the kids know it now. The text explains the various historical reasons people paint their faces, i.e. camouflage for hunting, as a means of intimidation for battle, to honor or show allegiance to a group or tribe etc.,up to painting our faces just for fun. After the presentation the kids can have their faces painted. They pick from a selection of historic and/or international face designs such as the ones they saw in the show.
This program is an excellent way to introduce the kids to the customs of other cultures and shows the similarities between other cultures and our own. The narration and pace of the show are lively with bits of information explaining words such "aborigine" and "kabuki." And humorous, pointing out things like the origin for the name Outback as in the restaurants and where KISS got the idea for their famous look.
This one hour program would work well with children from pre-school up to 2nd or 3rd grade and one painter can accommodate a group of up to 20 children.
