For the last few Fridays, we have been making beautiful collages with our Room 6 buddy class. We read a book called 'Window' by Jeannie Baker. All of the pictures in the book are made from collage. Here is one of our favourites:
We worked with our buddy to draw a draft of what we might see out of our window. Next, we painted the background of our picture (just the sky and ground, no details). While they were drying, we had a look through all of the materials that people had brought in from home. There were some very cool things to choose from!
Our buddies helped us glue things on to our picture and we helped our buddy to glue theirs. We mainly used PVA Glue, but if something was too heavy, we could use the hot glue guns.
Some of our favourite things were jumping on Paua shells to break them into small pieces, using sand to make our beaches look realistic, and finding treasures in the box of materials. We had fabric and paper with pretty patterns, cotton wool, towels, pebbles, feathers, bark, dried leaves, foam shapes, glitter and so much more!

We had a lot of fun sticking everything on. It was messy, but it looked awesome. We think everyone did a great job.
Here are our finished windows. Do you like them?

I love "Window" too. Looks like some very interesting work coming out of Room 21.
ReplyDeleteI had lots of fun doing that art. my favourite part was when we stuck all the items on our backround to make that window art
ReplyDeleteNow i see what all the collage materials were needed for! I had wondered why i had been asked to go to the beach and get sand. This looks like a fabulous book and idea for the kids to have a go at. Great stuff : )
ReplyDeleteGreat to see all this hard work going on, what creative people you are, and what interesting windows to look through!
ReplyDeleteOf course I love them. They were really fun to make and they were easy to make and turns out exellent! I really enjoyed making the window art and designing them! Thank yo Miss Williams for showing us that book!
