COLLAGE
A IS FOR ART
Lesson Objectives: Students will learn about collage.
Time Required: 1 hour
Artist: Mary Ann Jones, El Rancho Lounge and Twist Palace
Materials:
Students’ first initial cut out of tag board or card board
Old magazines and catalogs
Scissors
Elmer’s glue
Q-tip
Presentation:
Discuss collage. Demonstrate how the larger cut-out pieces should be glued on first while smaller pieces can go on top. Otherwise, the small cut-outs will be completely covered up by the larger ones. Instruct students to make a collage that represents them: their interests, hobbies, favorite colors, etc.
Procedure:
- Pass out initials and magazines.
- Have students cut out all their pictures first.
- Glue down the larger pieces first, then the smaller ones, completely covering the cardboard. It’s OK if the pictures hang over.
- After the glue has dried, trim off the excess to re-define the initial again.
- Seal in with Mod-Podge if desired.
