Creating Collages: Fall Fun!

In my choice-based art classroom, my students get to decide what they are going to create. When the collage center is opened each year, I show the students what is there, how to use it and how to put it away.

As the school year goes on, I add new materials to the collage center to prompt fresh ideas and creations. Recycling and reusing is inexpensive, so I go to stores to get discontinued wallpaper books, ask friends for old magazines and catalogs, and re-use old books our media center discards.

But there are some things that elementary artists just LOVE and have to have: patterned papers and tape! Last month, I added some
colored masking tape, beautiful washi tapes, cool patterned papers. The Halloween patterned papers were a favorite with the holiday coming up!

A student-made sign, oink!
