For our August art project, we will be making animal collages! These collages will allow us to make entirely unique compositions with various images of animals and other decorative elements. By using the collage method of creating our artwork, we can create imaginative scenes that may not be possible in nature. Try combining animals and plants that typically cant be found together. Also, play with scale, making the animals smaller or bigger than their enviroment. There are no rules! MATERIALS: Thick paper Assorted images from magazines, calendars, etc Glue Stick Scissors KEY WORDS: Mixed Media Collage Composition PROJECT STEPS: Choose a background for your collage, using pictures or colored pieces of paper. Glue it down to a thick piece of paper like cardstock. Choose the pieces you would like to collage, like animals, trees, and plants. Arrange your pieces on your paper, gluing them down once you decided where they will go. Use your imagination to create collages that combine different images! Create scenes from nature or your imagination. There are no rules for what goes where, so just have fun!
