How to Make a COLLAGE
What is a collage? A collage is a piece of art made with a variety of materials! Use your imagination!
Find a safe workspace that can get messy and a scissors.
Ask a grown-up to help you open the glue. The tip might need to be cut off depending on the type of glue you have.
You will glue the collage to the cardboard.
Spread out your collage materials (paper, foam, gems, pompoms).
Use scissors to cut the paper and foam into interesting shapes (a car, sunshine, flower, bug, peace sign, funny face). Or, use your fingers to tear the paper into random pieces! Or, do both!
Glue the papers all over the cardboard. This is the background. You can glue paper on top of paper to add layers to your picture. Cover the whole space or leave some blank. Use markers or crayons to add to your design, but don’t get those in the glue. Yuck!
Now glue on the foam, gems, pompoms, and googly eyes if you choose. What you add is up to you! You might find other things around your home to add to it as well
Allow it to dry before putting it on display. Clean up your mess!
Wow! Wasn’t that fun? Ask a grown-up to help you find another piece of cardboard and make another one! Use scraps of paper. Cut words out of food packages, newspaper ads, and magazines. Draw funny pictures and cut them apart. Add a photo! Use stickers.
What else can you find to add to your collage?
