VISUAL ARTS: Week 7 (Collage from drawings)

This week we use our drawings from the previous week to create a collage.

Step by step instructions:

1. Take out drawing

2. Pin point a section of the drawing the is interesting and appealing to the eye

3. Use a ruler and pencil to trace around that image

4. On a new piece of paper, draw that selected image (that part of the drawing)

5. Use strips on brown paper, Black paper, newspaper, and glue to place materials over the design

6. Leave to dry

 The idea is that students are focusing on one specific part of their drawing and replicating that one part on another piece of paper. Basically students are blowing up that one 'interesting part' and making it a focal point in a new art work. Collages are effective in teaching students visual arts as they encompass the elements and principals of visual arts such as.
