Here’s a new idea I had today – to make one giant class collage instead of a lot of half-done individual ones. I started with a piece of paper measuring about 8 feet wide by 1 foot tall. Students cut out swatches of color from magazines, and left them in their designated piles under the collage. I was the “master glue stick lady” and got to be sure that all swatches were securely attached. The collage only looks good when it has a really smooth surface. It took four one-hour classes of twenty four kids to get this filled out from edge to edge today. I love that the kids were engaged with a sense of teamwork, and that I now have a really nice piece of art for our front office. Oh, and the cost? About $4 worth of glue sticks and maybe $8 of clear packing tape for a pseudo-laminated look when complete.

This is so fun. I have never done a whole class one either. I assign each group a color. Then when the finish filling the paper, we cut it into something that is often that color. One year, for blue, they cut the collage into a pair of jeans:-)

Great idea for the last day of school when the kids can't bring anything home with them. They are still doing art that can be hung up all summer or saved for the opening of school next year.
Do you mean regular clear packing tape, as if I'm sending a package through UPS?
