After brain-storming ideas for self-portraits, Mrs. Scharf had the students write an "About Me" to include in a poetry book they are making. All the students typed their bio up and some even tried out cool fonts.
I showed the students a powerpoint about collages and explained that it's important not to clutter the space, but to also not leave too many blank spots.
I showed them local examples from the Springville Museum of Art.
This is a painting, but it shows a good example of how to represent yourself in collage.

Here are some more examples of collage:
After showing them some examples, we got to work.
Each student went through magazines and cut out images that represented them in some way.
After laying out the design they wanted, they got the OK to finish gluing.
Some kids chose really fun and creative images.
We'll be doing some more art projects to put in their poetry books and I can't wait to see how they turn out!
