Collage is a French word which means “glue.” The term was coined by Braque and Picasso in the beginning of the 20th century, when collage became a distinctive part of modern art.1. I’ve found this to be a really good project for kinders and 1st graders. They enjoy the hunt for images, but need a simple goal to stay on task. They are to search for magazine photos and collect as many different objects or swatches in their chosen color as possible.
2. All of the images are cut out and glued onto the white paper, with the goal of overlapping and filling it up. This is really simple, but the fact that each picture will have a theme really unifies the images and can create some stunning artwork.
