Faces of the Spirits - Doctors wear masks so they won't spread germs. Kids celebrating Halloween wear masks for a different reason: they want you to believe they are someone or something else! Sometimes masks have religious or sacred meaning, while others are worn just for fun. Explore some African masks at this colorful site. A caution to parents: Some of these masks may be frightening (but then, that's the idea).

Which one? You'll have to ask the help of a fish named Trish and learn some things about art technique and art history before you can escape. If you manage to get out of this painting, there's another adventure to try, called A. Pintura, Art Detective.
