Finished Rainbow Collage

My collage projects were so much fun last week I swear I had trouble stopping. Shown here is Rainbow Collage No. 2, all covered in clear packing tape, trimmed out and ready to hang. Final size, approx. 7 feet wide by 2 feet tall.
To review: Students cut out swatches of color from magazines, and left them in their designated piles under the pinned up roll of paper. I was the “master glue stick lady” and glued all swatches down, taking care to blend the colors. It took four one-hour classes of 24 kids to get this filled out from edge to edge. I love that the kids were engaged with a sense of teamwork, and that I now have another nice piece of art for our school.

I love this idea, and tried it with a group of special needs students, it was a great activity.

This is so awesome, I am going to get some poster board and make this a project for all my kids to do together.
