Objectives – Students will explore basic collage elements with multi-colored construction paper, and then will create a finished collage:
Materials & Resources – White 9 x 12 paper, multi construction paper, glue, brushes, scissors
Resources: Matisse
Procedure – Introduction/Discussion & Demonstration (10 minutes)
How can we change paper with scissors or our hands? How can we arrange them on a 2D surface? Look at Matisse. Demo cutting, tearing, edge, placement, overlapping, etc. Demo use of glue.
What is something you like to do…dancing, swimming, running? Students can place themselves in a setting (do a background)
Art Making - (45 minutes)
Students will change paper in a variety of ways, explore arrangement, they will represent themselves doing something they are good at or like to do.
Reflection – (15 minutes)
What did you choose to show? How did you show it? Did you encounter any difficulties? How did you solve them? What is something you notice in someone else’s collage that solves a similar problem?
Lesson 2 – Collage portraits continued
Objectives – Students will explore shiny paper, more complex cutting techniques, and will create a vertical format collage representing another person (family member, friend).
Materials & Resources – Same as previous, plus shiny paper
Resources: Romare Bearden, collage portrait.
Procedure – Introduction/Discussion & Demonstration (10 minutes)
Intro: What is shiny? Define and demo fringe, folding. Look at resources, discuss: artists represent people they care about. Is there a person who is kind to you, who cares for you, who you would like to make a portrait of? How will you show who they are (specifics, details)? How will you use the materials to represent them—do they have gray hair, shiny glasses or jewelry? What will you do first, second, last (sequencing large to small)?
Art Making - (45 minutes)
Create a vertical format (portrait format) representation, up close.
Reflection – (15 minutes)
Who did you choose in your portrait? What can we viewers know about your friend from looking at your collage?
Lesson 3 – Collage portraits in landscape
Objectives – Students will explore textured papers and will create a horizontal format collage representing themselves in a familiar, outdoor place, utilizing compositional devices to represent 3D space on a 2D surface.
Materials & Resources – Same as previous, plus textured papers. Ambitious students can choose 12 x 18 white paper as a base
Resources: Bearden, Breugel: representations of complex outdoor spaces.
Procedure – Introduction/Discussion & Demonstration (10 minutes)
Intro: Define textures. Look at Bearden, Breugel, discuss: artists represent complex spaces where human activity takes place. Is there a familiar outdoor place you like to be? Where is it? What do you like to do there? How would you show yourself there? How can we show what is near, far (sizes, overlapping)?
Art Making - (45 minutes)
Create a horizontal format collage representing themselves in a familiar, outdoor place, utilizing compositional devices to represent 3D space on a 2D surface.
Reflection – (15 minutes)
What did you choose to represent? How can we tell where it is? How did you create the illusion of space in your collage?
Lesson 4 – Pop-up Collage
Objectives – Students will explore methods of 3D paper construction: fold, slot and tab, dovetail, support, etc. students will create an abstract paper sculpture that is taller than it is wide.
Materials & Resources – Single color construction and oak tag paper, scissors, glue, brushes.
Resources: Pop up book (Dr Seuss – happy birthday to you)
Procedure – Introduction/Discussion & Demonstration (10 minutes)
Look at pop-up books. Define and demo techniques.
Art Making - (45 minutes)
Students will create an abstract paper sculpture that is taller than it is wide, using one color construction paper, oak tag, and that explores all techniques.
Reflection – (15 minutes)
What did you do? How did you do it?
