Portraits in Collage
To transition from our color unit to our portrait unit, the students used color to create a portrait. Selecting colors strips from magazines, and samples of printed hair and skin, the elective kids tore and pieced together an amazing mosaic like creation. They all had to include eyes, nose, mouth, neck, shoulders and background, but the way in which they presented it was their very own. Look closely at some of the backgrounds, and you may even see some of the artists' names in their collages!
