Collage: Lesson Plan 4


Collage is a technique of an art production, primarily used in the visual arts, where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole.

 TODAY

 Students were invited to work in groups to create their own collages. Bellow, there are exhibited in our blog-gallery the collages students created.









 “aftermath new world.”


Bellow, there is a sample of one of their lesson plans based on the activity done in class.

Team Members: Samantha Tan,Susana Bustamante, Lauren Fuster, Robert Burns


We looked through the magazine and founds images that allowed us to remember 9/11. We found pictures that related to the attack and that could represent the feelings, actions, and images that took place that day. When we made the collage, we tried to group the images with certain similarities. If our collage was in a museum, we would name our collage the “aftermath new world.”


 Lesson Plan:“aftermath new world.”

Objective: to bring about emotions about 9/11 and to put there concrete thoughts on paper.

Age group: 3rd grade
Activity:
Look through images; find pictures that relate to your chosen interest; represent feelings, actions, and images that seem related to your theme; make the collage by grouping images with certain similarities.
Materials: Magazines

Assessment: the students describing what they put together & how it made them feel.

    This was one of my favorite activities. It was very fun to take pictures out of a magazine and draw parallels between them. We were able to take photos from advertisments and various articles and draw connections between them. This allowed us to be very creative.

    I think that it was really cool to see how different groups came up wtih different stories in their collages. Some of the collages were really insightful, such as the impact of fire and pollution on nature depicted in the fifth collage posted.
