  3. Day 1:Students studied Matisse and what a collage is. I had a bunch of pre-cut squares/rectangles cut and they arranged and glued them on to a 12 X 18 colored paper of their choice.

    Day 2: Learned about organic shapes and positive/negative space. Students created various organic shapes and glued on using positive and negative pieces.

    Day 3: Compared Organic Shapes to Geometric shapes. Students cut smaller geometric shapes to add to their collage.

    I told the kiddos the more you have on the better (you want the view to not know what color paper you started with)

  4. so AMAZING!! I can't get my students to do that much work. I do this project with first grade and they burn out too fast I think. I will try your way next time:)
