My students did such an amazing job on their first project. They are just learning the basic concepts of collage. I wanted to them to focus on the ways to cut paper and how to choose various types of paper. There is everything from bus tickets to flyers to receipts used in these collages. We talked about the function of paper, different types of paper, where we find paper and how we can reuse paper for art. They spent time sketching their preferred tree (they had a page of tree shapes to give them some ideas) and they cut and applied the paper however they wanted. If you would like my lesson plan, just email and I would be happy to share.
My students are ages 8-12 and they are from various Spanish-speaking countries. It is really great to teach them and do it in Spanish. Yay.
