Home Collages

For our first project, and an introduction to the studio as well as each other, Art 1 and Art Appreciation students created collages based on their idea of home. 

First students brainstormed words and phrases that described home, and thought about each of the senses as filters for how they experience home. 



Next, students learned about where the collage materials are kept in the room, as well as how to apply the glue, contour cut images, and think about the layout of their collage before gluing it down.
For inspiration we looked at Artist Trading Cards and several images by collage artists such as Wangechi Mutu.

After the students finished collaging their "Home" card, they wrote a statement that described the images they used.
