Printmaking and Collage Combo!

So how did this come about?  Well, we did printmaking one week.  The next week, we did collage.  Wa-lah!

Directions:

Make some prints.  Make lots of prints.  Just for fun!  Save the prints.

Next, have kids think about they can incorporate the prints into a collage.  Seriously, this is hard!  I gave little guidance because I wanted them to create without my brain.

I provided any materials that they wanted.  

They all chased rabbits.

They talked to each other about the possibilities.

They got frustrated.

I got frustrated.

I did a lot of encouraging.

But in the end....

I was wowed by these!  Great job to my 6th and 8th graders!  I am very pleased!

After a somewhat stressful project like this, I had a listen to some Grateful Dead.
