WINDBROKE ACADEMY – ART LESSON 9 – COLLAGE
The word Collage comes from the French word coller, which
means “to glue” but truly great collage art is much more
then just cut-and-paste. Henri Matisse has a beautiful
collage titled The Beasts of the Sea that he used hand
painted papers cut out and Pablo Picasso would use words
from newspapers in his collages.
Can you look up some famous collage art and find your
favorites? Are you drawn to certain colors or shapes? How
are these pieces the same or different?
ASSIGNMENT; Make a collage using flat items and glue. You
can use wrapping paper, photos, tissue paper, magazines,
newspaper or cardstock. Corn husk, wallpaper or cloth can
add texture use your imagination to express the theme or
the emotions you want your art piece to have. Some artists
find it helpful to make a rough sketch before they layer/
glue on top of their work.
Be sure to use past lessons to help you with position, unity,
color, texture and line. It doesn’t have to be perfect but do
your best and make it clean instead of cluttered. WINDBROKE ACADEMY – ART LESSON 9 – COLLAGE
