Kindergarten Collages

Yay! Specials teachers resume a normal schedule this week. I am very excited to see your child for the 2nd time and on their original art day AND for 30 minutes!!! This week will be pretty basic and a nice no-fail art lesson. The children will be introduced to the word COLLAGE. I will tell students that a collage is art that is created using a variety of materials and glue. They will get to use our special art room glue (which is in a special bottle and is "super sticky") The glue is really just Elmer's Glue in a special bottle, but telling the children the glue is very special art glue gets them more excited. :-)

 I explained how the glue bottles are already open, so there isn't a need to twist the cap, etc. When we use glue in the art room we say: JUST A DOT, NOT A LOT!  Most of the pieces being glued down only need 1 dot of glue, with the exception of the popsicle sticks which need 3 (one on each end and one in the middle).
The children can use feathers, foam shapes, popsicle sticks in two different sizes, scrap decorative paper, sequins and wood shapes to create their collage.
