Week 1Lesson 1How to CollageThis lesson deep dives into tips and techniques to create a successful collage. 6 tips are covered and demonstrated in a demo video. Guides are provided for students to reference as they create a collage focused work of art.
Students will be introduced to and experiment with mixed media art, using multiple art materials, creating collages, and finding inspiration to create a unique work of art in their visual journal.
I can't remember not having art in my life. I was raised by an art teacher, got my bachelor's and master's in art education, taught art-focused summer camps, volunteered in art classrooms, and taught high school art for over 12 years. Now I develop art lessons and curriculums for other teachers or homeschool parents to implement in their art classrooms. I love the flexibility virtual teaching offers me while still allowing me to be involved in education. Please reach out anytime with questions or comments!
Homework Offered
Once the demo videos and materials have been reviewed students have the opportunity to use the material and technique in their own visual journal that week.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class

Used hardback book to work in, magazines, glue, scissors, additional flat materials such as printed pictures, scrapbook paper, and similar they want to collage with.
Students will control what the subject matter is in their own artwork and I don't show anything that could be upsetting or above a G rating.
Nothing is required outside of Outschool to complete the assignment. However, it is helpful for students to be able to search for visual journal inspiration on Pinterest, YouTube, or similar.
