My elementary kids have been creating some beautiful collages out of textured papers. They made these papers themselves, using oil pastels, q-tips, combs, brushes and tempera paint to create as many different colors and textures as possible. After these were dry, they ripped, cut and glued their papers to create either an animal (1st grade) or a landscape (2nd-5th grade). Every class loved this project and they could have gone on for weeks, if I had let them. In fact, my 4th and 5th graders begged to take the leftover papers home to make more art. Yes, yes, yes!
(and there's always one, or two if you're lucky, who marches to the beat of their own drum!)...
"Look at my beautiful textures, Mrs. James!"
