SESSION ONE
1. Give each student a couple of colorful magazine pages, drawing paper, glue stick and pencil. The students are to center a large simple stick figure of their first name initial on the drawing paper, in pencil.
2. They then form their initial using approximately 1" wide magazine strips. Demonstrate how the magazine strips torn vertically, will stay be pretty even. The students are to trace their drawn initial with the glue stick, covering generously, and glue the magazine strips in place.
3. The students use a peeled crayon and a sheet of plastic canvas (sold at Jo-Ann Fabrics for about 50¢) to do a crayon rubbing with the side of the crayon, all around their collage letter.

LOVE this!
Love this project and will use it with my class. Just a side note, the spelling of Romare Bearden is inconsistent on your blog.
I did this yesterday with my Kindergarten class. I showed them the video "Dropping in on Romare Bearden" and then we made these while listening to some jazz music. They loved it, thanks for sharing!
In the picture it looks like you have painted some brush strokes on the letter. Is this the case? There's nothing in the instructions about doing this.
By the way, I love your blog. I use it all the time!
Hi Mrs. B.
Maybe you're seeing the torn white edges? I'm not sure but I didn't use any paint. I kinda like that it looks like I may have though!
