Colored Glue Collage and Garden Art
This week we focused on gluing and collage. In addition to gluing on paper, I brought out the children’s dried clay work from the previous class for them to re-visit. I offered them colored glue and trays of collage material such as buttons, beads, sequins, pasta shells, and cotton balls.
Some of the kids experimented with the glue, rubbing it over their hands like finger paint. Although it may look like paint, they soon found out that it didn’t quite feel like paint!
Before heading outside for the second half of class, some of the children found time to make prints and check out the shelf for more materials.
Because of the hot weather, I decided to bring the kids outside for the second half of class. We began with a bleeding tissue and water collage where the kids placed pieces of tissue onto a large paper and sprayed the whole thing with water. When it dries, the tissue falls off, but the color remains.
The rest of class was spent playing with water, making mud pies, and painting on the easels.
Some of the finished bleeding tissue collages!
