Try a texture collage project. Collage and Construction in Grades 1-4 by Lois Lord, 1970 edition. I found great instructions in the book Collage and Construction in Grades 1-4 by master art teacher/author Lois Lord. You’ll need large paper for the background format, glue, stapler and scissors, plus ‘materials of contrasting texture’: Rough textured materials include corrugated cardboard, burlap…used sandpaper, wood shavings, egg-crate dividers, excelsior, and orange, onion and potato sacks.Contrasting soft -textured material include pieces of fabric such as velvet; scraps of fur; cotton; bits of sponge; and feathers…Materials with smooth textures include shiny metallic papers bought or salvaged from Christmas wrappings, chewing gum, and other packets. Lucky you – you get to actually watch Ms. Not only to I love Ms. You may have noticed Ms. White glue in spill-proof paint cup at San Diego’s New Children’s Museum.
Inchies. Inchies are small matching artworks that make one artwork together.
The name is derived from the original size of the inchie, one inch (2.54 cm). By choosing a theme, a material or a colour, you ensure that your inchies match nicely together. Inchies can also be used to learn certain skills, like embroidery or sew on a button. Variatons are endless. The base is an MDF board or canvas on a frame.
Of course those squares don't really have to be an inch. This artwork is made on a canvas frame. On the artwork above you'll see inchies that are covered with different materials: wallpaper, lunchbag paper, embroidery linen, rope and teddybear fabric. This artwork's theme is 'shells'. Basic supplies: Art actually: paper sculptures. I just have to share the paper sculptures my Kindergarten and 1st graders have been making!
They loved learning about abstract art and did such a great job creating an abstract composition! These are 100% out of recycled materials.
Molas. Molas are a form of reverse applique using many layers of fabric.
In a later lesson we will sew simple molas out of layers of felt. In the mean time let's make one out of construction paper so that we can better understand the reverse applique process. Flowers, birds, fish and suns all work well as mola designs. The top layer is yellow with a bird shaped hole cut out of the middle. Whenever I need to cut a hole out from the middle of a paper, I pinch the paper and make a tiny cut on the fold. Now lets begin to put the design together: For more extensive information on molas visit Learn about the Kuna people of Panama by clicking here.Learn more about this art form by clicking here The most common mola motifs are; birds, fish, animals and flowers. I have created some simplified patterns based on common images from real molas. Feel free to download or print them or use them as inspiration for your own ideas.
