Masks have become the ultimate fashion statement during the Covid-19 pandemic. Bellport High School Art Club members, under the direction of adviser Lisa Conk, decided to make the latest fashion accessory in order to benefit the community.

Prior to the start of the holiday season, the students utilized the painting technique of marbling to create distinctive face masks. In aluminum trays, the student-artists chose distinctive paint colors to create aqueous surface designs and to produce patterns similar in appearance to marble or various types of stone. They then dipped the white fabric masks in the solution to create fashionable designs.

Ms. Conk said that the masks were being sold to benefit various community organizations. The art club hopes to replenish their art supplies so that they can continue to design and sell face masks this coming spring.
