This week 3rd and 4th grade learned about shape and were started a collage flower garden in their sketchbooks. This project was inspired by one of artist Lisa Congdon’s Creativebug workshops. Here is mine…
The students are still working on theirs so no pictures yet, but do you ever have one of those days where it seems like you are talking, but no one is listening? That definitely happened with this project. Most of the kids got the basic idea of making a flower collage but I had a couple kids who had a totally different interpretation of the instructions than the rest. And I had one student who though they were supposed to cut up a piece of flowered paper and glue it all over the page instead of cutting out paper in the shape of flowers! I sure do love their enthusiasm even if they don’t always listen very well 🙂
5th and 6th graders did an awesome job on these St. Basil’s Cathedral watercolor resists! This lesson is from Patty Palmer’s Sparkler membership.
7th and 8th graders are doing another Sparkler membership lesson. We leaned about Surrealism before the kids drew these mixed up animals that they cut out and will make collages with.
And the high school students got to experiment with bleeding tissue paper as a technique they can use in the visual journals they are making this year.
