5th Grade art students try a new spin on collage!
In this project students experimented with printed paper, theme and color!
Each art portrait started with students tracing human head profiles on to tag board. The students then chose a theme for the college and found images related to their theme from magazine and digital images. The cut out images were then arranged a glued on to the profile tracing. Students finished the project by cutting out the collaged head profile and mounted in on to a large black piece of paper. Each work of art is framed with a cardboard mat.
